Rare Spares door hinge bolt kits - anyone used them?

[steved57]

Hi all

I've bought a set of door hinge bolt kits from Rare Spares for the EK. Problem is the front door kits (FK1008) have slotted screws for where the hinge mounts to the pillar and the rear door kits (FK1009) have Phillips head screws for the same thing. I can't imagine that Holden used two different type of screws for the same purpose (though I've been wrong before) so has anyone else experienced this please - or did the cars originally come with two different types of screw?

Cheers, Steve

They should have 6 slotted screws it would appear the we may have a stock mix up thanks for pointing it out. If you give me your name and address I will send you some I can be contacted at lmcveigh@rsp.net.au

so you are talking about the front door hinge to the A pillar bolts? they should be normal hex head 5/16th UNF bolts not screws
