Correct screws for gauge and radio bezel mounting?

[Sheriffandy013]

Ready to reinstall my gauge and radio bezel after getting dash painted. Gremlins obviously stole my screws…what are the correct sizes I should be using? All the same or are some longer or shorter? Also, there is only mounting tabs on the bottom of gauge bezel correct? Any help you can give is appreciated!! Oh yeah, 70 Charger w/ ac.

Thanks!

If no help I can post pic tomorrow. The 5 screws for gauge cluster are different then the 4 for radio bezel.

That would be great!! Installing my new Dakota gauges and new dash bezel all around. Needed new screws anyway but now I can’t find the old ones to compare.

It's not your exact car, and you may be past the point where you could use this, but there's an article in Mopar Connection online that's a great tutorial for installing the Dakota package in a B Body.

Dakota Digital probably needs to change their name to Dakota Instruments because I usually have to spend at least 10 minutes on the phone explaining to our customers that the gauges aren’t actually digital! That being said, Dakota Digital has hit a major home run with their RTX platform...

After you get the dash installed…it’s funny how the original screws turn up one by one in the carpet pile ,seats etc.

Would a 70 rallye dash wood grain have chrome fillister screws for the instrument cluster? Chrome screws for the radio bezel? What about the AC delete bezels, black or chrome? Thank you

All 70 rallye dash screws that attach woodgrain in your photos are painted black or finished in black. Fillister head for the instrument cluster only. Conical phillips head for the radio plate and two small end caps. Message me if you need more details. I can provide dimensions of the correct style screws. Joe

good info! I'm about to start my assembly too. Going with DD RTX too.

instead of me starting a new thread....
Can anyone tell me the size and type of screw for the radio mount? My best guess is 1/4 20...about half inch long. Also the size nut for the back. Is that a nylon ?
Thanks
