Interior trim screws and washers
Mighty gurus,
I need some screws and finish washers for the interior of my 78 Westy (around front/rear of headliner, rear side panelets, rear top panelets). My local hardware stores don't have anything small enough. Even the helpful folks at Ace and True Value looked at 'em funny.
Do the sets from Wolfsburg West work for later model buses?

If not, anyone know what the hell I'd be looking for at McMaster? I'm so confused....

Wow.. I'm surprised you can't find those anywhere. They seem like they are just basic small screws.
I bet a picture framing place would have those.

The best navigators aren't sure where they're going until they get there. And then they're still not sure.

There are fastener wholesalers with entire catalogues devoted to every type of screw, washer you could want. Now ask me the name of them.

They don't list M9 as a size they carry. That said, I've never seen an M9 size. What's it for?bretski wrote:http://www.fastenal.com/chitwnvw wrote:Name em! I need a M9 bolt bad!

Heh, you're right, Dick...I didn't look as closely at chitwn's post as I should have. I wasn't aware that M9 existed as a thread size, either.
Of course, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong...

Don't beat yourself up too soon. I'm not sure M9 exists. None of my favorite hardware suppliers lists M9. For Todd's sake, I hope to be corrected. Otherwise, he's in for a long and fruitless search.bretski wrote:I wasn't aware that M9 existed as a thread size, either.

It's the bolt that holds my turn signal console up in my '75. It was an M8 and is stripped. M10 seems to be a bit too much. Is there a standard size that would be between M8 and M10?dtrumbo wrote:

There are step studs that are M9, I'd given thought to fashioning a bolt of my own. Also my Sears taps set has M9, so something must be M9. Just sayin'.
