correct scuff plate screws

**BIGCAV** · 09-03-2011, 04:52 PM

Hi guys

can someone tell me which is the correct scuff plate screw from hq-wb's?

i was out at the wreckers and 2 of the cars had this screw as pictured
but on ebay there are NOS versions which look different

the original i have is a truss or washer head 10 gauge 24tpi
where as the NOS ones on ebay are PAN head and i beleive 8 gauge

ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NOS-Scuff-pla...item2c5b0da659

also what is the correct coating, chrome? zinc?

the screw pictured is a self drilling builders type screw...WRONG....

the ones in the ebay add look closer to correct but that part number is wrong and as we know these superceded numbers are sometimes also wrong..i can send you some samples if you want..i also need to do that hktg rubber for you as well..

Im fairly sure they are zinc plated screws much the same as the fleebay ones.

I hope the self drilling screws have not made the holes to big to put the original ones back in.

i have removed some screws from an hq and an hz...both have different size heads but are the original screws..looking at the ones on ebay they dont have the correct looking head..finish is zinc for zinc coated scuff plates and chrome for chrome plated scuff plates...shoot me a post address cav and i shall send you some of these screws..i will go around the yard and also check wb and see if they changed the heads again.

thanks for the offer greg, ill check one of the other hq's today hopefully before i waiste any more of your time just yet, if it doesnt have different screws ill send you a message, ill take a pic to just to be certain, i was surprised when i found the same screw in 2 different cars but im glad i asked, something just didnt seem right

funnily enough cav i have seen many of the same types of screws used over the years..mainly in utes/vans/tonners as people in the building trade use whatever was in the back of the vehicle..

**BIGCAV** · 10-03-2011, 09:39 AM

lol yeah 1 was a 1 tonner and the other was a panel van

cav,those screws also do more than just the scuff plates..

--- Updated ---

ok cav,ive just done a tour of the yard here and what i have discovered is..hq has a smaller head and is a normal self tapper..hz depending on build plant it looks like has a larger head and 1 is a normal self tapper and one has the self drilling shaft similar to your picture..
wb statesmans ive looked at have the same screws that are in the ebay add with the larger head and self drilling shaft which will be why its a 92 prefix number..
i have not looked hard yet at hj or hx..i have taken some pics and will take a few more and do them all at once..

running a search on the part number tells me sp2471 only suits scuff plates and some part on a ute for the sill panel to tray that i have to look into more

but go on id gladly here what else it fits?

edit: just read your reply, very interesting in deed, i honestly cant remember what the cars where i took those from, they wernt hq or wb's tho, something inbetween

thanks heaps for your help greg, its appreciated
