MG TD TF 1500 - TD Dash Trim Fixings

Seeking details of the original slot head?, countersunk? chrome? screws to attach the chrome edge trim to the dashboard & to fix the glovebox chrome trim. I need size, gauge, length etc. A local supplier would also be nice, otherwise someone in the old dart or across the big pond will do. TYIA. Cheers

Followed Graeme's lead but the suggested fixings were not original. Anybody have a pic showing the correct detail or any other info? Cheers

Just checked Chris Couper's site. Info is all there except for a supplier. Cheers

End the end you can get pretty close but not exact. I ended up having my screws plated. I think it cost me like $5 each :-)

Thanks Chris. I found a supplier, Classic Fasteners in South Australia (08) 8346 9838, of the following:

2# 1/2" C/S Slot Head Brass (Box 100 wood screws)
2# 1/2" Round Slot Head Nickel (Box 100 wood screws)

These cost around $30 all up including delivery to Sydney. I have also had a quote of $90 to nickel plate the box of 100 c/s slot heads. This is just enough for 3 cars, with one spare. The round slot heads will secure the bottom dash trim on 10 cars. The nickel plating is very similiar to chrome & it's apparently quite difficult to pick the difference. Cheers

I am interested in purchasing some of the surplus wood screws you purchased. Contact me at lesley (underscore) stuart (at) bigpond (dot) com

I am currently in Newcastle (for 2 wks), and will be in Sydney in October.

cheers Stuart

Stuart. No problem with the 10 round heads but there's already been a couple of guys here interested in the flat C/S slot heads (the ones that I need to get plated.) If anyone else is keen I can order another box (which does 3 cars). The lead time is 2 weeks for the screws, a few days for delivery from SA, plus another couple of weeks with the plater here. Cheers
