CAV Washer Head Screw source

**Veek** · 07-23-06, 06:43 PM

Over time I've replaced dome of the missing or damaged washer headed phillips head screws that are used to hold in the side windows and headlight covers. I've been unable to find an exact match and have made due with some slightly off -size #8 self tapping screws (sounds like the title of a rude b-movie). Does anyone have a source for the originals?

If they don't have it I don't know who will. I saw a few listed that might be close:

*Self sealing pan
*Self sealing flat
*Pan with external washer
*Pan with internal washer

Some dual action washers and others. Maybe one of those will be it.

Thanks Ron,
McMaster-Carr was my first choice but unfortunately their #8 Phillips head washer screws have heads that are .44in in diameter. Apparently the ones on the car are 1cm so they are noticeably smaller. So the search continues.

So far as I can tell, these are identical to the screws which came with my CAV:

they are a UK company but may well ship overseas if you can't find them anywhere else.
