    Type & Color Rear Seat Back Screws?

    There seem to be two different type of rear seat back screws. One type has the flat screw surface face and the other has a curved face as shown in the photo. Does anyone which years each was used?

    Since I am going to have a bunch of these plated, does anyone know the proper plating color? I know the that in '70-'73 cars these were yellow zinc. Is this the case for the SWB cars? Also what about '74 and later?

    Tom, All of the '70-'73 cars that I have seen have the slotted screw with rounded head and plated in yellow zinc.

    Not that it needs it, but I second the statement by 718RSK. All four of he SWBs I have owned had silver plating, although this was probably cadmium when plated that long ago from the factory. Today, you would probably get #1 (clear) zinc as a perfectly matching, less toxic substitute.

    clear on early, yellow on late, all longhood cars were rounded - never seen a flat one so might be later.
