What's the correct cowl hood relay screw and where can I get one?  Just got done cleaning up my original relay, would like to mount it with the correct screw now.  I see the part number 9415191 in the AIM but can't find anyone that carries one.

The screw is listed in the AMK catalog with there part # B-12049.

Thanks!  I need to start using AMK it looks like for these types of fasteners.  Looks like they have pretty much everything.  Will take a little while to figure out  how to use their catablog.

I bought complete kits for my car and they work great. About 90% of the time the head markings were just like my old ones. I did bag all my original bolts though for future use if need be.

The AMK stuff is functionally correct, but not always restoration correct.  Not all of the bolt headmarks are correct for that.

They have a kit G-5111 that has the fastener and lock washer that goes behind the relay.  Looks like the thing to get instead of a bag of 20 of the fasteners  :)

I originally replated this screw but as you can see,
over the course of time,
It has began to build up some surface rust.

Hope this helps....

Thanks, very helpful - I'll start looking through parts to try an match that head stamp - the one at AMK doesn't have it, but it will do until I get the correct one.

68Z28Project is correct.  AMK is probably one of the best resources we have for restoration hardware but it may not be identical to the original hardware originally installed.  Here is a picture of AMK's screw #B-120049, 8-18 x 3/8 Zink plated that I purchased for this application.  It is a plane head without the "C" marking RPOZ11 shows.  It possible that there were multiple hardware suppliers for this application and variation can be expected. 

RPOZ11, is this the original screw?  What is the plant and build date of your car?

Does anyone else have an unrestored or original screw for this cowl induction relay application? If you do, please post a picture and note the plant and build date of your car.

Thanks!

RPOZ11,

I recently organized all my original used hardware and misc parts from my restoration from over 13+ years ago and found the same "C" head marking screw you show!  I cleaned it and its now back in its correct place.

Moral of the store...never, never throw anything way because you never know when your old junk might become a treasure.

Thanks again for your picture.
