Wanted: screws to mount seat to chassis

[Tom F.]

I'm looking for the shallow head, allen style 6 mm screws for mounting the seat to the chassis in my 71. I have a few, but not enough to mount my seats without using some standard allen head screws, which look out of place to my eye. These are NLA from Porsche, and I haven't found an aftermarket source.

Anyone have a dozen, or so, lying around in their used hardware drawer?

I'm sure I do, pm me your address I'll send some out.

years ago, I bought some from John Landsvert overseas, they looked great to my eye, not sure if he still has any....

Lewis.

Would you by anychance have an extra set I can buy it off from you? I've email Zithlord last month to see if he still has any for sale but have not received a response. Thanks.

I don't....I'm sure anyone who has parted out a car should have some, easy enough to replate them, if they are not too ugly....

I sent an email to zithlord to see if he still has some, I was corrresponding with him earlier this month...

I have been able to get these from McMaster Carr; just search for "low socket head allen"; about $10 for 50 in 8.8 steel...

These can also be sourced in stainless steel from hillcofasteners.com

I took a look at McMaster, and while they're close, they are not the same. They don't have the shoulder, and they aren't yellow zinc. Also they are configured to take a 4 mm wrench. The factory bolts take a 5 mm wrench.

Here are a few photos (not the best photo quality, sorry), to clear up what I am looking for. These are 6 mm screws, with a fitting for a 5 mm wrench. Dimensions are 29 mm overall length, 4 mm head thickness.

how many do you need....I easily put my hands on 5 or 6, I know there are another 5 or 6 lurking around somewhere.....thank you for helping me clean up
