Finishing screws (photo)

Finishing screws (photo)

2002-01-29 by mcaqmd

Hi all,

Please look at the photo "screw" in the photos section and tell me if 
anyone has seen anything like this.  They are used on my door panels 
and the pedal box.  They're chromed.

The cap is smooth and screws into the top of the screw after the 
screw has been "screwed".  Get it?  

They are very nice looking and I would like to get more of them.  I 
partially ruined one trying to get it off before I figured out that 
the top "unscrews".  I've tried upholstery shops, etc. with no luck.  

Does anyone else have them on their car?  Were they original??

Any help, clues, etc. would be appreciated!

DON,

My car also has these same design screws that held my
3 dash sections as well as the top dash cover in
place.  Don't know if they are original and not sure I
plan on using them in my restoration.

Sorry to have been absent for so long, but home life
issues have taken all my time.  Spring time is coming
and car activity here will pick up.

Hello Don
In England the screws that you refer to are called mirror screws (cos they are used for fixing mirrors).
There is how ever a different type which has a plastic rebated washer that goes under the head of the screw.
Then when the screw has been fully tightened a chrome cup is clipped over the rebated washer.
This second method I prefer. Both types in England can be purchased in most hardware DIY outlets.
I trust this has been of some help, Regards Jac.

Jack,
    Thank you kindly!!  www.google.com returns 219 results for "mirror
screws".  Most seem to be in England but there are a few in the US.
Thanks again!

Dave,

Thank you.  Now I've found some US suppliers with your "snap cap"
description.  Seems that most are plastic but I've located some that are
chrome ($131/1000 !!).  I'll keep trying.   Thanks again!
