Does anybody know where I can get the screws that hold the neutral safety switch for a 73 column shift in place? I misplaced mine and I was told that they're special screws and I would have to get them from a donor steering column. Is that correct or can I go down to the hardware store and just pick some up there? If so, does anybody know what size they are, because I have no idea. I was thinking about taking the switch to the store and buying every size screw that fits between the slots in the brackets and seeing if any of them will screw into the column and hold the switch in place. Thanks in advance for you guys' help.

The head takes a 1/4" socket and the threaded part is 1/4" long, sheetmetal type thread. If you want these 2 PM your address and I'll mail them to you.

Philip,

Thanks for the help with the screws and offering to send me the ones you have pictured. I actually ended up going to the hardware store and finding screws just like that except they're 3/8 inch long, but they work. Thanks again, you were a huge help! :)
