The right screws

[ped58]

I would like to know the correct size screws (7 of them) for the hinge side trim of the door opening. The ones on there now are Phillips heads and stick out too far. The correct size from Snyder's would be helpful....thanks

I know the answer on this one, I just did it, they are black tubular rivets.
Crimped side to the inside.

Before you use the rivets, you might want to buy the correct windlace. What I see is flat stiched material with maybe a small rope or some such inside.

Are you certain they are Black? I thought they were body color.

As I understood it, the windlace was originally wrapped with a brown paper when it was riveted in thus protecting the windlace fabric during the painting process. Once the painting was performed, the paper was removed thus exposing the windlace. When you disassemble this on an original car, you can see remnants of the paper sandwiched between the windlace fabric and the metal trim.

Tom, the windlace is the real deal, it just got squeezed by the door in that area.

Your first picture had me fooled because the windlace looked so flat.

As Brent said, here is an original mid 28 Tudor, and the rivets are body color.

Brent is correct in that the windlace was installed with a paper sheath and the moldings were installed with semi-tubular rivets with heads facing out. They were painted body color and paper was removed after painting.
