DV8 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's one of two that secure the metal bracket that holds the windlace in place and wraps around the kick panel at the front door jamb on a '65 (and presumably all first generations). #10 x 5/8" with a VERY FLAT and 1/2" wide phillips head. Already looked at Mr. G's and Allen's. Anybody have any take offs from a parts car get at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'd suggest that you contact the guy's who are advertising "Parts for sale" in the classified section of the Riview. Lots of 1st generation cars being parted.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68RIVGS Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You might also check Lowe's, Home Depot, or any automotive supply store carrying fasteners ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Another thought. There's no real pressure on this screw; it just hold the welt in place and provides a channel for the kick panel to rest in. Why don't you try using a trim panel button. They're flat on top and should hold the strip in place; they hold door panels in place which are heavier and get more abuse when closing a door.Here's a link to show you to what I'm making reference. This one is too big and you'd have to buy a box of 50, but you'll get the idea.http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=BK_6651129_0006391281 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Meh... It looks like I have located one and it's on it's way but thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well look-ey what I just found!: https://www.opgi.com/riviera/1965/moldings/hardware/C241073/As much as I hate buying things from OPGI they do have a few items that no one else seems to have.

39BuickEight Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 For future reference, Fastenal has always had anything I've ever needed. They'll order one for $.47 and call you when they get it in (one washer I needed was that much). They said there is no minimum on in-store orders. Do you have a Fastenal nearby?

DV8 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Now that I know what to call them there a scores of them available on Ebay for much more reasonable prices than OPGI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Looks like there is one very nearby, Billy. I will definitely look into it next time something like this arrises. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not to change the subject, or hijack this thread, but if you have a Fastenal near you, check them out as a shipper for those odd parts. They have trucks delivering all over the U.S. They're not out to make a big profit on shipping other things on their trucks, they just have room and charge for it. They do not deliver, you have to pick up at your local store.Now, back to the main feature. Screws for your channel. Mine are full of yukum putty and were hard to get out. Probably just as hard to get back in. Glad to know there are sources out there.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
