Comanche Interior scew list

[Blazer25l0]

Can anyone tell me all the types of screws that where used for the interior trim pieces on a comanche. Missing alot of scrws on a 88 comanche project. Just need to know what to order.

I could snap some pics later. I saved all the factory hardware that was still good and labeled it. It’s primarily the head sizes that vary depending on application. They screw head design also prevents cracked plastic for many parts

Could always go to a junk yard XJ and grab every screw in the cab.

I second this, 99% of the time they will let you have the screws for free if you buy something

Almost all of them are #8 sheet metal screws. Most are your garden variety pan head in various lengths, but some are these, which I think you should use wherever possible: https://www.mcmaster.com/sheet-metal-screws/phillips-flanged-extra-wide-rounded-head-screws-for-sheet-metal/

 

I grab those from every XJ instrument cluster I come across. I've got a big bag of them and everywhere they fit, I use one. They're much nicer quality and are easier on the plastic.

Very good info. Just remember that there is no place for a drywall screw on an MJ! Most of the plastic mounting tabs for interior trim are getting a bit brittle depending on where it was being stored. Pay close attention to the actual screw head. The link above is great. Get a good handful of those screws. Even if factory didn’t originally use that screw, use it if the application would benefit from it.
