Console screw question
I'm getting ready to put my restored console back in and I'm stuck. I bought the full interior screw kit from Willcox and noticed it does not have all the appropriate screws for the console. I need to know what screws are used for the vent bezel attachement to the gauge bezel and what screws are used for the side on the center gauge bezel? From what I can gather it seems all screws are black except the side screws for the center gauge. Would love it someone can shed some light and pics on what screws to use. Thanks!

Hi JU,
Here's a start.

The 2 chrome plated screws on the right are used from the gauge bezel into the sides of the lower dash pads (2 each side).
A/C or not? 2 flat head cross recess black and 1 oval head cross recess black.

Thanks so much Alan. But what about the two chrome plated screws on the left in the pic? Where do they go?

Hi JU,
The other 5 screws (5 each lower pad) in that photo are used to install the lower dash pads….. the 2 chrome plated screws at the outer side of the pads into the lock pillar, and the 3 painted screws install across the top of the dash pad.

Hi,
You asked about the screws for the center gauge bezel.
I showed you a photo that had 2 of the screws in it…. the 2 screws to the right in the photo.
I then added a photo that showed the upper part of the center gauge bezel so you could see those screws.
Thus you had seen all the screws for the center gauge bezel.
You then asked about the OTHER screws in the first photo and I said they're used for mounting the lower dash pads….. 2 chrome screws at the hinge pillar and 3 screws along the top of the lower dash pads.
???

Take a deep breath Johnnie.
This is supposed to be fun!
Each little issue that seems to frustrate you now, becomes a bit of learning to add to your knowledge of the Corvette.
There are lots of great experts on this forum, with years of experience, who are VERY willing to help out the less-educated (myself included!).
A little patience on your part, will induce a lot of patience from those ready and waiting to share their knowledge!
If you're getting this frustrated over a bag of screws, your path ahead is going to be lined with a lot more headaches that could affect your enjoyment of this hobby/pastime/labor of love.
Just my unsolicited $0.02

Hi JU,
Perhaps if you lay all the little bags out and take a photo of them so I can see how they're labeled, I can relay which bag of screws is used in which location.

Alan
