MG TD TF 1500 - TF fuel tank strap screws & acorn nuts

Dang! There's always another chromed part you need the closer you get to finishing.After checking around, I think no one sells exact repros of these screws (phillips head round top). Is this true? All I can find is hex head.

thanks, Tyler

Check out the acorn nuts for the screws: 2 different styles. Which style is correct?

thanks,

Those screws are not chromed. The heads are painted the color of the interior, after they are in place. The acorn nuts are chrome plated, and available.

The shorter acorns look closest to mine.
Yes, screws are painted to match the upholstery.

I found on my new acorn nuts that I had to run a tap partially through them to clean off some of the excess chrome.

Those taller ones look like the windshield nuts.

Tyler, I don't think those bolts are available any more, as I tried all over to get new ones with no success. I'm just cleaning up mine, painting the head and after installing, touch up the screw driver area with a small pointed brush. PJ
