Default tail light lens screws
Does anybody know the length, size, and thread of the tail light lens screw for 71? Can I get some SS ones from the hardware that will work?

Try 3/4 long by 32NC Phillips head machine screw. My '72 screws are black coated or plated.

Hi GTO,
The original screws appear to have a fillister head.
I agree that they have a black finish on them as kjb described.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks guys! I got lenses on the way, and I want to have the screws on hand when they get here. Drives me NUTS to have to leave new parts lay in the box too long!
