Original RS door panel hardware question

[Cornpanzer]

Hi guys. Looking to find some photos of original RS or a lightweight door panels that show exactly what the original hardware look like. Specifically looking for the screws around the perimeter and the screw that holds the leather strap to the door face

Thanks for any help you can give

First, photo of white car is 9113601382, RS (no conversion), and second set, orange car is 9113601008, RSR M491 conversion. If I remember correctly, the large Pan head phillips that holds the front end of the pull strap is a machine screw, the other end, inside the door attaches with a round key chain split ring. The outer perimeter screws are nickel or chrome phillips countersunk oval, with a profile under the head, in 1974 the same screws changed to black, notice the 2 sizes of trim on the top edge, the joint is at the vent window post. the Fiat handles use a black countersunk oval head phillips screw. Hope this helps, If anyone has anything different let us know, I've chosen 2 cars which I think are good examples.

closer pictures of the screws (RSH 1256)



btw: while the white one (1382) doesn´t show a black painting on the inner door around the trim panel the converted red (1008) shows

Any idea about the dimensions of the strap itself (cross-section)?

Dave, I think you can use collared interior screws and be darn close to the original. The leather strap screw is just a pan head phillips.

Thank you to all who responded. I really appreciate it.
It appears to me that the front of the strap used the existing arm-rest threaded hole. Is that correct?

That's what Aaron and I were thinking as well, when we looked at a bare door yesterday. I bet that's right.

+1 arm-rest

That's how it is on my car, Dave.
