Does anyone know the screw size (and she always told me it didn't matter) for the 5 sheet metal screws that hold the dash in?
I need to get on to the next step so I can change the below photos!
 
The washer and screws black, I thought they were chrome or SS?
 
Oh, and by the way, I am really excited for you to see
you move this pic to the next level. Right on.
 
Five dash screws?

DPO Pedro had only two black, drywall screws holding the dash
board in place.

I trashed DPO Pedro's mess. I had a custom teak dash fabricated, I'll check how many screws I have now.

Dang why is it that the memory is always the first thing to go.
I just pulled 2 dashes out in the last 3 weeks and could not tell you if they were chrome and shiny or black.
Must have been my miss spent youth, before I found British cars and bikes
 
Earlier cars had chrome glove box hinges & bracket, and chrome dashboard screws. Later cars had the black hinges, black screws and black plastic glovebox bracket. Sorry, but I don't know the year of changeover... See the TRF catalog. BTW, I went with the chrome accessories on the custom dash from Prestige Autowood (for a '76 TR6), and it looks very nice.

TRF green catalogue is a little indecisive. It states that chromed fittings may have been used on very early cars and that black was probably used on all cars.

My '71 has black dash screws, black glovebox hinges, but a chrome glovebox bracket.

Go figure ... it was built by Belgians.

I'm thinking of using brass screws and sunken washers when I replace my newly refinished dash.
 
O.K., here's the scoop: "chromed screws and cup washers, TR250, very early TR6" ... "black screws and cup washers, TR6, 1970-76" TRF Glove Box Companion 2007, p. 211. Bob H.
