Any suggestions for correct screw kits for interior and exterior? I'm building a convertible cuda, and might want to buy new screws.

What about this guy?

Also, as correct as possible would be nice.

Thanks.

I bought a kit from "The Loose Screw" couple years ago. I thought it was decent hardware I still use few odds & ends from this kit. My

Does AMK have kits, or just individual items? I don't find any interior screw kits there.

Does he offer a good discount for kit orders? His stuff appears to be pretty expensive.

Honestly? I didn't shop by price -- I just wanted the right stuff. When I restored my interior approx. 4 years ago, he was generally acknowleged to be the go-to resource for correct parts. Great guy to talk to (answers his own phone) and very knowledgeable. To me, that's worth an extra buck or two.

Unsure if anyone today is doing it as well or better. Probably depends on the quality you are looking for.

I'm going to step in here.

I am not familiar with referenced ebay seller so I can't comment good or bad.

But,

1st - as far as a complete AND accurate interior screw kit- R/T Specialties is going to be your best option.

2nd - AMK does NOT make interior screw kits that are Mopar application specific .
They may carry most ( I have my doubts they have them all) the screws required, but your costs will be much higher than either the ebay seller mentioned or R/T Specialties.

Several years ago, I bought a interior screw kit from MR G's in Texas, I threw most of it out. due to wrong plating, wrong head styles, wrong screws, wrong lengths, etc etc etc.

3rd - most of the interior screws are avail thru most any of your better stocked auto parts store. Dorman and Auveco make most of them. The 'correct' door panel, sill plate and rear 1/4 trim panel screws are NOT avail thru either - see #1

4th - Call Tom

ps - I do not carry interior screw kits so I have no dog in this fight.
