screws for armrests and hood springs

[68 A]

I need hardware to put my armrests on my '70 Dart. I assume that they are screws as i tried a bolt and it did not work. Does anyone know if i need to order something specific or can i find the right size at a hardware store?

Also, my dart did not come with any hood springs. I bought a pair off of ebay that came off a 68 Barracuda. I assume that they will fit since they are the same body. I just wanted to check that they will fit before i take the fenders off to put them on.

Thanks

They are screws that you can find at a hardware store. I`m not certain of the size but they`re about 3/16 -1/4 x 2.5 inches long with a phillips head. I got a set in a kit of interior screws from Year One and the armrest screws were too short ,so I don`t suggest using them. Perhaps someone will chime in and give you the exact width and length. The hinges should work for you as well.

Sorry, gotta revive this thread. lol
I just measured one of the screws in my '70 Valiant and it's 1/4" X 2 3/4" long
Could only find 2.5 or 3 inch screws at local hardware store.
So, should I go the 1/4" longer or shorter? Worried about hitting the glass.
thanks

Shorter might catch, might not. If you find one a 1/4" longer, you could always take it down some with a bench grinder, just look at the point end before you start and try and mimic it when you are done.
