Most of the vendors have interior screw kits/sets. I've got a couple different sets coming from Eckler's. But they are not the only source either,

I think you'll need a parts and illustration catalog like this one I found. http://www.wedophones.com/Manuals/Ch...0104%20Meg.pdf (note: the pdf is pretty large)

If you can find the part, then it usually gives you exactly what you need. I think this is the screw you're talking about on page 598 of the pdf.

Here's what you want. Look for an edition printed after your model year. These are available in hard copy paper (about 800 pages) or on CD. I have both types. The CD version is handy on line. The hard copy is good on your desk.

Another source for Corvette parts is Paragon. And if you want a source any unusual clip or bushing there is a company called Auveco.

My Chevrolet Parts guy gave me my first copy. I suspect he was growing tired of me bringing him old original 68 part numbers and having to thumb through his Parts & Illustrations Guide for the replacement numbers.

Hi,
The Standard Parts catalogue has some fastener information in it too.
It's not all inclusive by any means but is useful on occasion.
Regards,
Alan

Agree! You can buy an interior screw set for about $20 to 25 on ebay or the Corvette vendors and it has most everything you need for the interior. Best part for me was that all of the screws come in little labeled packages as to where they go. So you get to determine what kind of screw goes where.

Hope this helps.

I believe you're right. I have the December 83 edition and an earlier copy in hard copy. Offhand, I can't recall what edition is on my CD version.

These are also available on the Bay from time to time.
I picked one up a month ago for less than $30, in a 3 ring binder.

Croaker, tried to send you a PM on another issue but your box is full.

Send me a PM when convenient as I have a lead on another item you asked me about.

Have a great day!

A little late to post but might as well add this to the stack
eBay sells Corvette variety packs of 200 to 300 bright screws for $8 to $12
