Local sources for interior screws?
Anywhere I can pick these up instead of waiting a week for shipping from PEckerler's or Mad American or The Last Straw, etc?
I think they are a metric size, and I'm tired of trying to make the others fit, they just end up stripping out or being an unnecessary pain in the ***.

I got's a coffee can (13 oz. size) full of them that I'd "Pay it Forward", but the delivery would probably be the same as PEckerler's or Mad American or The Last Straw.
Don't know if there's such a thing as self tapping metric, but I also got those slide-on doohickies that act as nuts for the self-tappers.
BTW, my local ACE hardware store carries a variety of them, they even come in Factory correct color flat black.

They have screws, but metric screws are surprisingly uncommon (and unnecessary). Try putting a standard #10 screw into a metric speed nut, and it'll make the interor take twice as long to assemble.
I went ahead and tried Corvette Central and got some other things I've been putting off also. Hopefully I'll have enough left over to put in the SafeLite van fleet's tires. I can't find hardly any of the screws I removed, I think the bastards used them to install the moldings.

The ones you wont get from any store are the tork screws for the head lamp covers $5.50 each. And dont try substitutes,you may end up paying 50 times what the screws cost if they grab the hood while the lights are spinning around. Happened to my friends C4.
