Screw covers.
Those push on covers for CSK Pozi screws as found on some kitchen
cabinets, etc. The smaller of the two commonly available, so about 12mm diameter. Loads on Ebay, but not the colour I need - dark grey. It's for the old car - has had the windscreen replaced and they lost some of the originals from the screen surround trim. I know they could be painted at a pinch, but not had 100% success with this before, even using a primer and paint sold as being suitable. -- *The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Thanks. Amazon isn't somewhere I use much, so forgot it. Sadly nowhere near the right shade of grey. Very difficult to tell from online pics. I'd call it mid, rather than dark grey. So the search continues. -- *Kill one man and you're a murderer, kill a million youand 're a conqueror. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
