I need some help on figuring out what screws to use to mount my door panels. I have attached a picture from the AIM (Section F - 12.00). Not including the arm rests, there are 11 screws holding the door panel in place. There are two part numbers referenced, item 5 is part number 162416, and item 1 is 162406.
I got door panels from Al Knoch and screws to go with them, but the screw set seems to be a hodgepodge. some #8 and some #10 and three different lengths, and the number of screws of each size don't make any sense!!!
Both Paragon and Corvette Central sell sets that look to have the correct number of screw, total of 22 or 11 per side, but both of their sets have two screws that are longer, i.e. 20 screws of one length and 2 longer. I assume they are all #8.
Looking at the AIM picture, there appears to be two of the Item 5 (#162416) screws used. I am assuming these are the longer screws as they go along the top of the door panel which is the thickest part. Then I would assume that all the other screws (9) are item 2 (#162406) and are the shorter screws.C
an someone tell me if all the screws should be #8s and if the longer screws are the Item 5 across the top of the panel? Since CC and Paragon sets only seem to have 2 longer screws, then there would only be 1 per side. That is part of my confusion!!!!!
Thanks,
Don
