What kind of screws are used to fasten the dash to the cowl on a 1947 Ford? This car uses the same long screws to attach the dash to the cowl and to attach the window frames to the dash - doesn't seem right. Thanks.

More often than not, the wrong screws have been used during the life of the car. My '47 had both straight and Phillips head screws. Bob Drake sells a complete kit of screws for your car. 800/266-0470. Depending on the model of your car, these kits are under $20.

Al You are in luck. Yesterday I put the dash back in my 42. This one had never been taken out before so I'm pretty sure I have the right fasteners. Along the top are 8 pan head sheet metal screws. In the bottom corners are 1/4" bolts and nuts. Didn't measure them but the pan head screws are probably 1/2" long. Ted
