TR6 TR6 Dashboard Hinge Question

[TR6BobNF]

I'm installing a new rosewood dash in my '76 TR6 and I'm using the glovebox hinges from the original dash. Problem is with the screws securing the hinges to the dash. I've got about half of them out but the rest are rounded out (tiny Phillips head screws) and I'm going to have to drill out 3 or 4. Does anybody know where to get replacement screws? I can't find a listing at Moss or TRF. Any leads would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Having just yesterday put the hinges on my new dashboard... =D I'm in a perfect position to answer you =) The stock screws are #2x1/2" phillips head wood screws. It's hard to find #2 screws in phillips but you can get them in slotted head pretty easily. On mine, since I was going into new wood, i used a 1/16" drill bit to make pilot holes, and used #2 x 1/4" brass wood screws. I had plenty of grip without using the full half inch length ones, because i broke a few of the half inch ones trying to screw them all the way in, i just went with the quarter inch lengh.

Check out this page at TRF.

Looks like they list 6 SLP121 (hinge to glovebox) and 6 SLP122 (hinge to dash) needed.

Thanks Guys. Interestingly, a search of Moss and TRF did not turn up these hinges, but after receiving your replies, a Google search did point to the TRF listing for the hinges and/or screws. The TRF hinge kit RFK511 is only $13.00 and change so I'm ordering that one and will leave the glovebox door intact on the old dash. Thanks for the timely responses.
Cheers,
