38 Pleemouth Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Does anyone have or know where you can get the screws and washers for the front floor pan and toe board for a '38 Plymouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondo Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I found them at an ACE hardware. You might try Restoration specialty supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Correct me if I'm wrong, aren't the screws plain Pan-Head sheet metal screws? If they are ultra-special screws, try Mcmaster-Carr Company. They seem to have most everything hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38 Pleemouth Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 I have no idea, Pete?! They certainly may be. Thanks for the advice, Rondo and Pete! I'll check into your suggestions and see what I can come up with. I just didn't want to buy the wrong thread pattern and mess up the body nut.

Pete K. Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 OK, Forget what I said about sheet metal screws. It's been way too long since I worked on my '39 floor. You'll need to find the thread pitch on those body nuts to procure the right machine thread screws. I highly doubt the body nuts take a sheet metal thread. Carefully try a few taps close to what the threaded holes appear to be. Don't force the tap into the nut, if body nuts are rusty, oil them first and try to clean them out some. Hopefully you have a tap & die set, if not, a cheap set will suffice for this project. The right tap should go in fairly smooth. You can even take that tap to hardware store to match up the screw thread you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
