Interior Screws

[hrush0327]

I am looking for screws that hold the interior panels on the inside of the car. I was wondering if anyone knew what size they were.

Thanks

The plastic interior panels are held in by plastic expansion rivets that attach by pushing the pin in after the rivet has been secured.

You need approximately 25 to do a car. They are usually available in any color you want as long as it is black and I'm guessing they run $1 each (usually in packs of 10).

There are some areas that use screws, and the screws are either chrome counter sunk phillips head or black anodized counter sunk machine screws. This also depends on the model. A few areas require a chrome scew and grommet, either chrome or clear plastic.

Here are some blue 280ZX rivets on eBay now

And if you're not a big stickler for OEM or exact replacements you CAN find the same style rivet at Lowe's.

Go to their specialty fastener section and you'll find them in various lengths and diameters. Right off the top of my head I believe they are the 3/16" - 1/4" diameter and about 1/2" to 3/4" length range. You should be able to find a good close replacement.

Hope this helps
