Westfalia Hehr Jalousie Window Screws

[chamilka]

Hey all
I am restoring my 67 S0-42 Westfalia. I would prefer to replace some of the old screws with new screws if feasible. I want to find out size and thread type of these screws so I can buy them, if you know a place where I can get a kit that would be great too. I have posted the pictures of the part and the screws to make it easy for you

Part category: Jalousie windows

1. Screws that attaches the lightweight aluminum frame to the body. There are four of them. See the picture.

These guys have stainless steel packages. They might have something.
Also you might try taking your screws to Your local hardware to get matched up.

I was hoping somebody has put together a kit that has all the screws

Wolfsburg West has all the Bitch’in seals for rebuilding your windows, i did mine one at a time. For the screws, i bought a bunch at my local Ace Hardware or Tru Value. I went with Stainless Steel.

Try McMaster Carr online, fasteners.

Good luck

It's not easy to get the same profile, they don't the look bad just soak them in Ospho for a bit.

Does someone sell refurbished screws here, may be I should post WTB ad.

If it were me, I'd try the home method of electrolysis for a couple days, then clean them up with a brush and steel wool the heads. As someone mentioned, they don't look bad at all to start with, so a little clean up should do the trick. My $0.02.

Local hardware store stock might not be the right size, probably won't be.

I advocate for metric... and for zinc plated steel... the zinc is supposed to be what's sacrificed.
If you go stainless... your bus' body will become what's sacrificed, due to the difference in electrical potential between steel/stainless steel.... galvanic corrosion.

Here's after a little time of installing a stainless bolt upgrade kit... money well spent?... no

But wait... that ^^ was stainless steel + steel... what about stainless & aluminum?
Here's stainless screw in aluminum:

Ideally, stay in the "A" or "AD" box:

Easy e - Thank you for the information. I did not know about the fact that stainless steel can impact the corrosion properties of the base metal. Very insightful.

Regarding the Threads Per Inch (Pitch) and diameter:

I think the diameter of the shaft is important otherwise you have to modify the holes etc.
since these are screws not bolts, I can see Pitch might not being an issue.

Someone would gladly buy the OG ones so don't toss them.

I find most screws I need at Home Depot. They have a wide selection of standard, metric, stainless, zink & others. Just bring in a couple examples and start comparing.
