I'm putting the interior back together but didn't take it apart. So I basically have a bag of screws and trim pieces.

I have most of it figured out except for a couple of screws/locations.

For discussion, I'll define some terms:

There are 5 main perimeter trim pieces:

(1) Hatch rear
(2) Hatch sides
(2) Door jams

There are 4 Console trim pieces:

Rear wall,
Rear wall, hatch carpet extension strip,
Horizontal section w/shifter/brake boots,
Front bezel plate.

Trim screws are of 3 basic philips types w/varying lengths:

Washer head, black powder coated (Type W), (all 1" length and a couple .5"??)
Oval head philips w/washer, black powder coated (Type O), (all 1" length and (4) 1.5")
Simple philips, black electro plated (Type S). (used exclusively on hatch carpet extension strip)

DISCUSSION:

Type O screws:

There are 4 extra long O screws. It is clear that 2 of them are used at the outboard joining hole between the Hatch Side and Door Jam trims. I thought the other 2 were used at the joining holes between the Console Rear Wall and Horizontal Section, however, I don't think that is correct.

QUESTION 1: Where are the other 2 long Type O screws used?

QUESTION 2: Where can you buy these screws in general. I tried ordering some dash panel screws from a famous dealer and got unrecognizeable screws. Further, it seems that some of the screws are not even shown in the parts manual.

QUESTION 3: Could I find most of these screws on other MoPar cars in junk yards? My guess is that they are standard screws.

Thanks in advance.
Tom
