Correct screws for KickPanels on Early A's

[Jim Kueneman]

Learned something new yesterday. James Filmore emailed me and saw my '63 Dart thread on FABO. James owns Detroit Muscle Technologies who most know if they have restored a mopar before! He was asking for what is the right screw for early A kick panels. I got some photos and lots of discussion with Alan Schrock and Kurt Eastabrooks (thanks guys) and here is the correct screw. James was thrilled because it is the same screw that hold the upper interior panels to the door on E bodies so if you want the correct screw he has them.

That screw also looks like the stainless steel trim screw on 67-69 A body Converts.

In the convert app it might be more of a pan head?

In the location marked and a few other

On 65 and 66 Dart models this is the one I have seen

Ulf I have a guy with a one owner low mile '66 Barracuda who I asked to pull a screw out and take a photo. This could be an assembly factory variation?

The screws that came on my '66 Dart look just like the ones on post #3 (no shoulder).

It could be. Or factory screws were gone so they took what would work and do the job.

The shoulder screws seems like it is what it "should" be to be able to have consistent and not too much torque on the fiber board so they don't pull through.

Ma Mopar did use come crazy fasteners in places. Many would work fine but not be correct.
