Jackson head screws

50C8DAN

Well just goes to show you that you can learn something new everyday!  I ordered some oval head tapping screws from Restoration Specialties, thinking these would be perfect to replace some rusty ones for the inside trim of my Hornet.  Well they showed up today and the heads were way too big.  So poking around the RS catalog I see something called Jackson head screws, probing a little more these are the right thing.  They are size 10 threads with size 8 heads.  So just in case you are looking for interior metal screws for your Hudson Jackson head screws are what you need!

Thank you. That explains what I found except I never found the solution.

Also available from Auveco although I hadn't heard the term "Jackson Screw" before. I think they simply call them "interior trim screw".

Tks, Dan. Just got 75 chrome on Amazon for $0.40 each, no Frt. 10x8x1". And some 8x6x0.5 also. And can get in 2 days with Prime. Been wanting this stuff for about 40 years !! Didn't know what to call them. Complete interior of my car has wrong screws: heads too big.

Edit: not 2 days, but 3 weeks

Received today, changed out about 40 today.  Thank you. Every screw on the inside was wrong. Number 10 totally. But  should have had a #8 head on the #10s... I knew it, but didn't know where to get them because I didn't know they were called :Jackson.

Edit:  replaced 65 screws(bought 3 boxes of 25 each and have about 10 screws left. Even screws in floor sill covers were large #10.
