Hey guys!
I've been doing some work on the truck recently (heater core). And while I've got the majority of the trim pulled out and waiting for parts, I figured I'd go the extra mile and run new speaker wire from all doors to the front firewall. Once I popped off the inner door panels, I found that I was missing some speaker screws from the last time I was in there. Looked various places for replacements and couldn't find the right size. Went to the dealership today and the screws are discontinued and they had no part number for them. So when I got home today I pulled one of the screws out of the door and zeroed my micrometer for some measuring.
Long story short, I've found what looks like an almost exact replacement for our speaker screws on McMaster Carr. If you're a semi-purist like me and want things just so, here's the measurements I pull:
Screw shaft - 1.0120"
Head height - 0.1375"
Head (w/flange) diameter - 0.4680"
Screw size (diameter) - 0.1885" (#10 or ~3/16")
Threads per inch - ~15
Here's a link to the McMaster-Carr page for the closest I could find if you're needing some. They come in packs of 50 for $6.60. I'll try to remember to update here when I hear back how much my taxes and shipping were.
**Edit - I gues I can't post the link to McMaster-Carr here?**
I realize that many would just throw in some random #10 screws or self tappers or whatever. And that's all good ! I just like to have that extra piece of mind that pain-in-the-butt-to-find screws brings me.
