Where can you get the screws that hold the interior door handle cover on?

  1. Any ideas anyone or anyone got a spare couple they don't need :p
     
  2. A good hardware store should have them.
     
  3. Thanks @BayWatcher - do you know what size they are? Easy to walk in but not got one here to take with to say one of these please. :lol:
     
  4. Whoops. I usually just take one in to match it.
    Although, I recall a few times I made 2-3 trips in/out until I found a match.
    They're too cheap to even bother with returning/exchanging. Just toss it in you toolbox & buy another one.
    I do know they're double, or fine-threaded and about 1/2 inch long.
     
  5. Perhaps I should just go in and say I want the screw that holds the interior door handle onto a VW Bay please and watch the look on their faces!

    At least I know what I need, even if they don't :lol:
     
  6. Noooo! Tell them what its for and you will incur the obligatory 75% VW scene tax:eek:

    And thanks @Paul Weeding :thumbsup:
     
  10. If you're in no rush, I can chuck a couple of stainless ones in with the bits n bobs off the westy!! :thumbsup:

    @Paul Weeding didn't give you the length though - you will need to know this.

    As a general note, I work around the corner from Clerkenwell Screws (look them up), they have almost every screw type fixing known to man (I never exaggerate me :) ). If anyone ever needs a hard to source widget, let me know :thumbsup:
     
  12. M5x10 will be plenty :p
     
  13. That is a very kind offer, and if I don't succeed in sourcing one I will let you know, we do have a very good screw company here I will try first, (I just haven't been able to get there while Mr B working as not able to drive at the min) Had another thought too - Mr @Paul Weeding may have one in that bus he is breaking, just to add something else to our list for him :lol:
