replacement screws ???????????
Can someone please tell me what the exact name and exact size of the replacement chrome screws are? I actually want them in black but when I bought what I thought was the corect size, they turned out to be to fat in diameter.
for the hood and trunk i bought #8 3/4
i also bought the 1 inch length and the 5/8 length for the doors and gas cap area.
they are all to fat in diameter.
they are black with the washer already connected to them.
I bought them from Ace Hardware.
I cant find them anywhere online.
Thanks for any help.

They should be #8 screws. I think 1" long would fit most places. I had to use 1" in a number of trunk holes to get them to grab.
I bought mine from a bolt supply house. Stainless screws and flat washers. Looks pretty good.
Personally, I'm not big on those washers in that kit.

oh, but i did take one to the store with me. 
maybe its the thread that is different because its starts to screw in and then stops way before it should, almost immediately. it just might be thread even though they appearred to be a match.
i dont know.
exactly whats the kind of screw that its called. id like to see if i can find them online under the name"kind" of the screws.
machine screw, finishing screw, etc.
thanks.

I don't know the exact size, but I'm pretty sure the screws are metric sizes and are slightly smaller than the #8's. You'll probably need to search online for "automotive fasteners" to find an exact match to stock.
