Graeme Robinson Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Can anyone tell me the size of the countersunk slotted screw that fixes the glove box hinge to the dashboard? I've looked on the rimmer catalogue but there doesn't appear to be anything listed? Moss have a part number 501555 but it's not available and appears to show a pozi drive head whereas I thought they were slotted? Many thanks Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 pretty small, probably around 8BA or equivalent. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Certainly slotted. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 pretty small, probably around 8BA or equivalent. Bob. Hi Bob, 8BA is mighty small. How about a #6 self tapping screw (does it screw into sheet metal) Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Judging by the washer size which is listed, its a No6 though whether thats 6BA or 6 UNF Im not sure as I dont have one here at the moment. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Bob, 8BA is mighty small. How about a #6 self tapping screw (does it screw into sheet metal) Roger Mine has a nut & washer underneath, & I think that is original. could be 6BA, no bigger Bob.

johnhodges Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I've just measured one and make it 0.135 in./ 3.42 mm dia. which could be no.6 UNF or between 4 and 5 BA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Robinson Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks for your help everyone, any thoughts on suppliers; I only heed 4nr? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Mine has a nut & washer underneath, & I think that is original. could be 6BA, no bigger Bob. From memory, small nut & washer is correct, i.e. NOT selftapping. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
