Posted May 23, 201113 yr comment_356549 I'm replacing the lens covers on the front large blinker lights of my 71 Z. Several of the screws have been broken trying to get them out. Anyone know where I might pick up a dozen or so of these screws? Thanks for your help.

May 23, 201113 yr comment_356566 I couldn't find them, so I went with the next best thing I could find. I went to the local hobby store and found some stainless screws and a die to get as close to the original thread pitch and size as I could. I don't recall exactly right off the top of my head, but I think I went with standard as opposed to metric, 4-40 1" long is what I recall.FWIWE Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39655-front-blinker-light-lens-screws/#findComment-356566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 23, 201113 yr comment_356610 Hey Guy, Just incase you haven't gotten any yet. I got new ones from Lowe's when I was working on my turn signal lenses. I'm not sure of the size, but just take an unbroken one in and match it up. If you don't have any that didn't break I can check the size sometime, think I bought more than I needed in case I had to remove them again.
