Where to find door latch screws

[bill3337]

I'm looking for the screws that hold the door latch assembly into the door. These are the ones that hold the latch to the door edge. They are something like 10-28, I have 10-32 but that's too fine and the factory screws have a slightly oval head and are countersunk. I've tried Bob Drake, Macs etc, but no one seems to list those screws. I'd take them in steel or stainless steel. Thanks, Bill

The ones on my 34 are 10-24 and 12-24. Have you tried Roy?

or maybe a place like this,

I get most of that stuff at Fastenall. They do not have the tapered star washers Ford like to use but I found a whole assortment of them the Ford garage threw out.

What year and model? Could make a difference.

The screws are for a '37 Ford Tudor. The Roy's site has an incredible selection of screws, but none for the door to door latch mechanism. They are a short screw oval countersunk head 10-24. I'll try Fastenal on Monday, we have one of those here.

model A stuff is common, cheap, and alot of it interchanges. sounds like the same door screws, or maybe dash screws. check brattons web site, i believe the sizes are listed with the part. restoration supply also has lots to choose from

I did end up finding some of the correct size (12-24 x 1/2" through Fastenal) Thanks for the replies.
