franklinman Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Check out "TOTALLY STAINLESS" in Heidlersburg, PA. They are just down the road from us and are great to deal with, and good pricing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27dodger0 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Before I get your hopes up, I'll have to go look at what I have left from the restoration of my 27 Sedan. Sounds like you want these for window trim? If I can help, I may have other items also. Be patience, and I'll get back to you. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27dodger0 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 There is/was a place in Sydney, that made Dodge Brothers parts. I think the name was: Vintage and Classic Dodge parts. I tried to look them up, but had no luck. Give it a go, and see what you can find. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27dodger0 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 My car was in such a good condition, that I reused all the bolts after cleaning! I have a few brass slotted oval head 10/24, that in my case were for the step plates. I also have 4- 1/4 20 bolts that are stamped DB, but pretty rusted. More than happy to send these if interested, no charge !! Please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin bc Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Mpgp1999 I had lots of trouble getting the right screws for my Dodge 1930 DC 8 here in Australia, when i needed them, I finished up finding good suppliers in England, have lost the name now but there were quite a few suppliers over there of specialist wood screws, My requirements were Raised head Screwdriver Slot Brass Chrome plated Here in Aus 99% of screws have cross slots these days one struggles to get a screw with a slot in it, then they are chinese & not the quality of the English ones I'll see if I can dig up the docket, with a name on it, but if you search the net you will find one of them, Price was reasonable about $10 Aus /100 I may have your No 6 roundhead, I'll check & let you know regards Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin bc Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Kevin here again , checked my supplies can't help as only have raised head. Its interesting that you have X head screws , I guess they are for screwing into the metal, where here in Aus we still had wood frames and all screws were wood screws, no metal threads at all, so another difference between our cars Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin bc Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Kevin here again Have a look on the internet at "Classic Fasteners " in Adelaide, they have a good selection of RH slot screws in Nickel, and might even have the metal threads or similar .

hwellens Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 The one on the left is a phillips head. I doubt that screw was used on your car the year (about1924) it was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Phillips head screws weren't invented until 1937. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This is what Wikipedia says about Philips screws: "The credited inventor of the Phillips screw was John P. Thompson who, in 1932, patented (#1,908,080) a recessed cruciform screw and in 1933, a screwdriver for it.[3] Biography After failing to interest manufacturers, Thompson sold his self-centering design to Phillips in 1935.[4] Phillips formed the Phillips Screw Company in 1934. After refining the design (U.S. Patent #2,046,343, U.S. Patents #2,046,837 to 2,046,840) for the American Screw Company of Providence, Rhode Island, Phillips succeeded in bringing the design to industrial manufacturing and promoting its rapid adoption as a machine screw standard.[5] One of the first customers was General Motors who used the innovative design in 1936 for its Cadillac assembly-lines. By 1940, 85% of U.S. screw manufacturers had a license for the design.[6] Due to failing health, Phillips retired in 1945. He died in 1958.

Mpgp1999 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I am at 75 oak View drive in San Rafael California 94903. Currently I am replacing all the wiring with correct cloth covered wire. And replacing all screws with proper slotted and nickel. Are there any other details that I may be missing. Like DB and other period correct tools and accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 That washer under the Philips screw is a cup washer. Model A vendors sell them, as well as "countersunk" (the outer lip is not there) washers for some model A screws. You might find some nickel screws there. PS. Best to send your address by p.m. to prevent low-lifes getting it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
