[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...

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.

Lifetime MemberThe 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!

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.

Hope all is well, I tried to call you but your mailbox is full.
I also PM'd you.
I still have not received the screws..
My PM has the address just to verify it's correct.
Maybe they got lost in the mail or returned..
Tom
