[QUOTE=Adams' Apple] [QUOTE=mkapp7879] How about phillips flatheads? Ya can't see em anyway, they're hidden under the carpet.(I still think they might be 12-24s) These are the type of screws you usually find in the "specialty" drawers at the home improvement places.[/QUOTE]

You may be right, Mike...dang...you guys are gonna make me go back out, remove a screw, and get me thread gauge out!

It'll have to wait till tomorrow, tho...

[/QUOTE]

Joel, I just did! The rocker panel screws ARE 10-24s. I wasn't able to access the actual strap mount screws cause they're buried under the carpet, but since you pointed out the similarity, I checked the rocker screw.

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4-speed, close ratio 07M Paint code. Former owner painted it incorrectly. Not bad paint, but will paint it the RIGHT way down the road.

The guy I bought the car from put a new carpet in w/out those anchors..

so, now I am going to get the stud finder out, find the thread bosses and surgically cut the carpet and figure out the threads.

going to try the 12-24's for starters. Flat head will do under the carpet!

thanks guy's!

Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.

'Hope this is helpful if not too late;

Sarjo Industries Inc. Fastener Warehouse

Telephone # (845) 454-7010

I was able to buy new screws that hold on the rocker moldings at a fraction of the price as compared to the local Corvette shop.

They seem to have every type and size nut, bolt or screws.
