Default Need good source for interior screws

As I am putting my interior back together, I am quickly realizing I need many more interior screws for the trim pieces etc. These usually screw into the metal "tabs" that act as nuts to hold items to the dash etc.

What is a good source? And how do I know what sizes I need?

I saw an entire interior screw and washer kit on Ebay for $64 (I think?). I believe it is the Classic 9 guy that was selling them. Should have everything you would need and then some. found the link! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Inter...Q5fAccessories

Any auto parts store (NAPA, Advanca Auto, Auto Zone) has mixed packs for around $1.50 in the hardware aisle ('help center' display). I picked up 3 packs of mixed that included 4-#6x1", 4-#6x.5", 4#8x.75 and they had the removable black countersunk collars on them (used for interior trim pieces).

For around $15-$20 you should be able to buy all the hardware needed to do the entire interior, including the color matched 'dress caps'.

The Lowes by me has the correct screws...they are just silver in color.

A little black paint, and they are no different than stock.

I got all mine from Auto Atlanta. Got expensive real quick, and for screws! If you can avoid going through them, do it, but if just can't find a certain hardware item, they should have it. Hopefully the local hardware store will fix you up.

Classic 9 has an interior screw/clip set for 60$. It seems pretty complete, also I noticed the same one but 5$ more on eBay, and shipping was more as well. Just go directly to classic 9's site.

Lowes also has the little black plastic caps and the backing for them to snap into.
