I am looking for a slotted screw that resembles the factory screws that hold the curved panel at the rear most of the subframe to the floor ! What are you guys using ? I have the square nuts but everything I find in the screw dept looks to new/ off. Thanks for the help guys !

we are looking for the parts to look the part but do not have to be original on this build !

anything that gets taken off a car gets saved in my shop . Old bolts and fasteners are priceless in my book !

thanks for the tips WardAZ!!

Roy Nacewicz (?) may have what you want, guys on the EV8 board are always recommending him. Try doing a search or post on the EV8 board.
Love your work ! ! !

Flop, your attention to detail is very impressive! I'm not sure the screws you are looking for are the same as the ones I removed from that area of my '30 Roadster, but they looked just like the gas tank to cowl screws. Best wishes, Bob
 
If your talking about the ones that hold the curve panel to the trunk riser I used license plate screws. Head seemed to have a lower shape than round head machine screws.
 
I am going on what was on mine back when...I believe they were slotted oval heads for sure. You might need to machine the underneath of the oval head down some to fit in body panel nicely. The TRESS slotted head ,,that i know of is used only on the Model "A" open cars [ roadster / phaeton] end of DASH RAIL.[1 each per side.]You need to find a machinist to make these because no one makes it in repro... Doc. K made a run of these some time ago. Like 5 years or so.
