I am restoring a 72 rallye cluster that I bought used. It is missing the screws that attach the metal gauge cluster to the wood grain bezel. Does anyone have one apart so they can measure the screws? Are they all the same length? I need the length, diameter and thread.
Thanks so much!

they are chromed oval head, recesed and selftaping thread. Same ones used on fender top turning signals aaaaaand.... rear upper interior panels as far I recall. Maybe around 1/2" or 3/4" lenght

Chromed? Those sound like the front ones that attach the bezel to the dash. I'm looking for the back screws that attach the metal cluster holding the gauges to the plastic wood grain bezel.

Cool. Do you also have a gauge to measure the thread and size of the screw? I don't want to strip the plastic threads in the bezel.

Looks like a coarse thread. Thanks so much for doing that.

I dug out my old Standard bezel and it has the same screws that odzking shows. I don't have a digital caliper to get an accurate measurement, but Nacho's looks the same except black. Looks like it will be easy to find. I don't want to steal from the Standard cluster and then one day wonder what size those should be. Thanks guys.
