Sport Seat Screws

[merbesfield]

For those looking for screws for their Sport Seats. I posted this on another thread, but wanted to make a separate post in the parts section.

All the replacement screws mentioned above are the same size and just a little too large for the depression of the seat mechanism. Yes, they will work, but to my eye, you can tell they are bigger than they should be, especially when compared to the original screw. They are also a #4 Phillips head size vs. what may have been #2 or #3, however, this I can live with. In conversations with other members, we have found that there were two lengths used, the 20mm that most mention and 27mm that can out of my original 73 seats. I ordered both 20mm and 25mm new Stainless Steel screw sizes (8x1.25), though once installed you will never know any difference. Why there are two sizes I have no clue. I then sent the screws off to a friend who is a machinist and had him reduce the head size to closely match the original head size. I had him make extras in case there were other members who are as anal as me and wanted some. I can sell the screws for $12.75 each and will only sell them in sets of 8. If interested PM me. If I sell out and others want some I can have more made, though they may be sightly more expensive due to shop minimums etc.

Screw have been delivered. I need to hand finish them to make them look nicer. I will try to get to that this week. Here is one after I finished. It takes a little bit of time for me to get these results so I will add a small fee for my time. I will let everyone know once they’re completed. I am only going to finish enough for the orders that I have so if you want these, please let me know so that I can do them at the same time. Thank you Mark

Those are nicely done!

I got my daughter to polish up the screws. Figured she could earn a few bucks while hanging out in the shop with me. Final price for the screws is $16.00 ea. after polishing. So for 8 screws plus $10.00 USPS fixed rate shipping, the grand total is $138.00. All the screws I have polished are already spoken for. Please let me know if you want more so I can put in another order to my machinist.

hi Mark

great product

as life goes - i read it last night - and this morning the key bolt sheared ….
(i know - it means - need to lose weight ..!!)
(and a special morning too - as the conda car went into a container from australia to uk today, for the next stage of its life … we intend to traverse the continent for a few years …!)

i’d prefer two bolts only, but understand you need to sell sets of 8.
so - please can i have one ? postage to UK
