Hi,
Can you please help? I recently acquired a set of the original/NASCO-styled interior door pull handles - The ones that look like tool shed door handles and are meant to be fastened to the door using four fasteners per handle. What fasteners are recommended?
Sorry that I have not uploaded a picture of the pull handles - It seems that this forum has not been designed to make this a quick or easy task.

Basically any countersunk self tappers mate , flat or Philips whichever works for you- there was no hard and fast rule with them - I guess flat blade would be more period correct

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

https://www.classicindustries.com/produ ... x1048.html !!! Very, very interesting website.
Not only do they stock suitable screws - They also stock numerous other Lucas items that interest me.
As for the screws, I am particularly attracted to the flat-bladed-screw-driving type (as mentioned by @Blacky in terms of period correctness), especially the ones that have a convex bulge at the top of the screw head, thus creating the illusion of antiquity and respecting the curvaceous design language of the car. Only question now is, do I choose 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch length for this task?

Would 1/2" be long enough ? Theres nothing to hit in behind there - I would be inclined to go with the 3/4"avm wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 2:55 pm Only question now is, do I choose 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch length for this task?

A 6” tek-screw might find the window glass.
