Thread pitch on cladding wheelwell screws?

[VX KAT]

Yup, Mark, that's the screw. Oddly, top one will catch but bottom one wouldn't when I added the mud flaps....suspect hand-made car explains that. Just curious if the JDMs with flaps use the same 25mm bolts or longer
Anybody across the pond(s) know?

Thanks Tom, I'll try Lowe's...we're going that way today. My HomeDepot seems to have zip for car screws/bolts etc...

Insert 2 cents;

Sue, don't be critical about the thread pitch, it's not a machine thread.

Just find sheet metal screw that is slightly larger in dia. and as long as you need. If you want it black, pick up a rattle can of flat black and be done with it.

Sounds like an easy idea. The OEM is 6mm, so I'll look for a 7 or 8?

Think US, 3/8"

The fastener marked "29" in the drawing, is that a rivet? I am trying to take the cladding off and didn't want to break a plastic fastener, if possible. If those are rivets, will I have to drill them out and replace with a different fastener?

Is this the screw you need?

This screw comes up for a Honda. Sue, if that's the screw you need, order it today, pick it up tomorrow. Done! It doesn't get much easier than that.

Well, I see you're looking for a longer one of that same screw, so ordering the same one wouldn't help, so never mind.
