The Dash Pad Mounting Screw Kit is an OE-style restoration hardware set designed specifically for 1968 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models. This 9-piece kit restores the factory-correct fasteners used to secure the dash pad to the dashboard structure, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and a clean, finished appearance along the upper dash and windshield base. It is an essential detail for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where interior accuracy and correct hardware matter.
From the factory, GM used a specific combination of mounting screws to retain the dash pad at designated attachment points across the dashboard. During restoration work, these original screws are frequently missing, stripped, corroded, or replaced with incorrect hardware during dash removal, refinishing, or interior refurbishment. Improper fasteners can lead to loose dash pads, uneven alignment, or an unfinished appearance. This kit addresses those issues by supplying OE-style screws matched to original factory specifications.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, the screws in this kit match the original thread size, length, and head style used on 1968 F-Body dashboards. Proper screw design is critical to ensure the dash pad seats correctly against the dash structure and aligns properly with surrounding trim, defroster outlets, and windshield moldings. This level of accuracy supports stock restorations and detail-correct interior rebuilds.
The 9-piece configuration provides the correct quantity of mounting screws required for dash pad installation on applicable 1968 models. This kit is well-suited for dash pad replacement projects, full interior restorations, or corrective repairs where factory-style mounting hardware is required to achieve a proper fit and original appearance.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this dash pad mounting screw kit is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable restoration solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct results.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
