Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
Are the bolts indicated below in Stefan's pic the 'correct' one's - how could I doubt he has got it right?
Are these the so-called 'cheese head' bolts?
Please confirm:
--A & B are bolts & the same?
--C, D & E are screws & the same?
Where can I get all these?
Many thanks,

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
I would love to know also where I can get these screws/bolts?!? Something I'm also having difficulty with is locating the black beading your put around the instrument panel and the proofmeter cowl. Where do you people find these things?!?!? lol
Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
Email Bertie Dunlop in your part of the world.
I know he sells cheese-head bonnet bolts.
Very helpful guy

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
A very timely post, I have just sprayed my tank and instrument panel (along with buying a new coolant gauge) so will also be looking for new screws. I note they do appear to be cheese head self tappers and stainless would be ideal.

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
Hi, on the subject of bolts/screws, I have found that my local Wilkinson store is quite good for locating this sort of thing.

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
For beading if you get some black electrical cable and slit it down one side, then remove the wires it can then be pushed round the edges and it makes a good bead.

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
Ben,
On our '62 Super Dexta and '61 Petrol....
D and E are the same.
C has the same head and thread but is shorter with a blunt point.
B has the same thread but shorter and has a more rounded head.
A has the same flat head as C, D & E but has machine threads.
And the screws for the preheater button have the same head as B but have machine threads with star washers!
Photo showing D&E, C and B:

Hope my 1st attempt at a photo works,
Les

Malcolm Hipperson at Downham Market has both bonnet seal and dash panel sealing strip. He has an internet shop on E-bay.

For the lower dash, it's a squared off U-section with the max external dimension (sides) of 5mm. The ext thickness across the bottom of the U is 3mm. The internal measurement is 1mm. Fit on panel is perfect. Seal seems to be only on the front panel edges with none underneath.
For the upper dash, it's a more rounded U-section, with external sides of 6mm and ext thickness across the U about 2.5mm, and internal measurement of about 1mm. Fit on the panel is good with just a slight tendency to ruckle on the curves, but certainly looks OK in Stefan's pic below:
.
I wonder what Malcolm sells for these?

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
Bensdexta could you (or others) have a look at http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.a ... entId=4#21 and pick what strip you think best matches your description.
If you could this would be very helpful mate and would maybe put this to bed.
Big Thanks again. I'd be nowhere without this forums help!

Re: Instrument Panel Screws and Bolts
The panel thickness is a critical dimension, so U46 is the only real choice. The 10mm sides on this are a bit big, which might give a problem going round curves. Perhaps one could pair it down with a steady hand.Wee59dexta wrote:Bensdexta could you (or others) have a look at http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.a ... entId=4#21 and pick what strip you think best matches your description.
