Default Interior Trim Screw Set

Is there a "cheat sheet" out there with measurements for a full round of interior trim screws. Ecklers has a kit for $20 but I'd like to save a few dollars by doing this myself.

You won't really save any money at all. The screw kits have the proper screws with trim washers and I think based on the piece count that if you were to try and buy them all yourself you'd still spend more and you'd have the hassle of finding measurements.

I bought the kit and was glad I did.

yeah forget it, you'll pay MORE buying them piece by piece. Ebay had the best deal. Search "corvette trim screw".

You would have to search long and hard to come up with all the 'unusual' interior fastener pieces on your car. It would cost you a lot more piece-by-piece than buying the complete kit.

Good Cripes. I've gone to McDonalds and bought a meal for me and the family for more than that ! Your time is worth something. By the time you root around to find these things...... just spend the $20...

At $20/set, I plan to buy two sets to make up for shortages and lost screws. Even at that, I'll bet there will be a few items missing.

Keep a bag of old screws just in case.

The "kits" are the way to go for a complete correct set. If you need just a few take their opposites (if they are there and label a piece of masking tape where they go) and go to a hardware store or Home Depot type store. I was able to match a bunch of screws and washers.
