What is the correct thread/bolt size for the small tab that the door screw threads into? What is the correct screw? Washer?
Here is what I have and what I found in the SNL.
Any input would be great.
Also, it apprear the bracket with the wire clips that holds the bulb into the housing was zinc plated and not painted. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Lew

Re: Screw thread for fender blackout light door
Zinc or cadmium plated 8-32 sized (number 8 screw with 32 threads per inch) slotted filister head screw 3/8" long (measured under the head) with a number 8 internal toothed lock washer.
Fillister head screws might not be available individually at the local Ace, but you could order a box of 50 or 100 from Mcmaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/#90280A192 or Fastenal for a few dollars & help your buddies with the rest!

Re: Screw thread for fender blackout light door
I just checked Ron' site for the gasket. Did not see it. Also, is the bulb retainer plated?

Re: Screw thread for fender blackout light door
any ideas on the bulb retainer being zinc plated?
Source for the gasket?
