68 Quarter window u-jamb screws

[68Zproject]

Does anyone have their original screws holding these u jambs in place?  I've noticed that my passenger side doesn't even have any screws at all in it so I would like to see what an original is or at least for now get a size that would work temporarily.

Or could someone point me to a part # for the screws?  I have a Fisher body service manual and can't find it in there.  If someone has found it in there let me know please.

 I'll be climbing on the lift to measure a belt on my '67 for someone else so I'll take an original U-jamb seal screw out and post pictures of it later today.

 Here is a picture of an original '67 U-jamb screw from my 04B LOS.
The plating is chrome and it definitely looks like a #8 x 1/2" (I placed it on a quarter to keep it level to the ruler)
The head width is .2851"

Hope this helps.

That's a great start! Thanks.  Is that a captured washer on it?

 Hi '68Z28,

  Hmmm....I can see in the picture where it looks like a captive washer. No, it has a flat base.
For a close looking substitute you can use a #8x3/8" screws that are used to fasten windshield molding. Those are sold a auto body supply outlets.
I have a box of them so if you want a few just PM me and I'll send you some. They are bright zinc finish and 1/8" shorter but the shouldered head style is the same.

No, I appreciate it though.  I'll just use the right size screw for now.  I've got some of those screws and the size was a big help.  Thanks Mike!

After digging through my boxes of parts for something else, just happened across a bag of AMK screws for u jamb.  #8x1/2" .28" dia. Wow, guess I should look more often, finding all sorts of stuff I've bought over the years.

[Mike S]

 What's the AMK number?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, they came in a "kit" so the only number I have is for that G-5389. They look a little shorter than your screws, other than that they look the same.  If I could find an original part number, it could be x-referenced to their number.

I think the ones that come in the kit are zinc screws, correct? Of the 68 & 69 NOR survivors I've looked at have a phosphate screw and that is what is in our restored 68.

Chick is correct.  At least the green car is phosphate.  67 could be different.

[Mike S]

 The 67 NOR and LOS are chrome screws. I wish the NOR screw chrome was in better shape so for now I'm opting for a polished bright zinc on the restoration until I can find a good replacement.

Gray?  These do have kind of a silvery look to them, but that could be easily changed.  They seem to be a little shorter than Mikes and have a rubber sealer on them.  I have and AMK catalog so when I get some time I can look through all the screws.  There has to be something there.

Mike,
What is the OD of the screw Head?
