Subject: [Tigers] Hardtop Quarter Window Fasteners?


I'm in need of some replacement screws used to assemble hardtop quarter
windows. Having not found them listed among Tiger fasteners etc, I'm hoping
someone out there who's redone a hardtop happens to know their sizes and
thread pitch.

Each frame has 3 rails which surround the window, which are joined at each
corner with two types of screws. The rail which carries the hinge requires 4
screws entirely inside the rail. They are slotted flat-head countersunk
screws with a course sheet-metal-like thread. The other 8 screws are visible
on the outside of the window frames and so are slotted oval-head countersunk
machine screws. They appear to have been chromed originally. Both types of
screws are quite small - about #4. But neither matches the #4/40 pitch of
the fasteners my hardware store carries. I suppose they might be #5 as I
didn't have any to compare, or perhaps nothing about them is SAE spec at
all.

This is a pretty obscure piece of information. But if you can ID these two
types of screws I'd appreciate hearing from you. This information could also
be added to the fastener list available on the Tigers United website.

Thanks
