Interior Trim Screw Kits
« on: April 21, 2015, 09:41:50 PM »
Hi,

Does anyone do kits with all the screws etc. for the interior trim pieces.

I'm re-doing the interior of my 1953 Manhattan and the old screws are rusty
and I suspect that some are not the original type.

It would be great to be able to replace them in one easy step.

Thanks,
Mal.

I just finished my '53 Manhattan interior. Was able to find the oval head screws and the washer head type at local hardware stores. Do it best and Fleet Farm I recall as sources.

Hmmm- immediately after posting the above I logged on to ebay under Kaiser parts and saw a kit of the screws for $7.75 or so. Could solve your problem with one stop.

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm located in Australia. So I can't check out your local hardware stores.

As there seem to be some non standard screws I was hoping someone did a comprehensive kit
instead of me replacing the wrong screws with new wrong screws.

I saw the E-Bay listing but again this is only for one size screw.

I'll just have to go to the local store with a pocket full of old screws and see what they have.

Thanks,
Mal.
