Can someone provide me with the correct dimensions of the Phillips head screw that is used for the wind deflectors on the 70 Super Birds?  Heading to Hershey and it should be a pretty common size from what I recall.  I should be able to pick up some Restoration Specialties.  Thanks for any and all input.

I see there were no suggestions to your issue but I thought Id pass along some support.

Im looking for this too, I have three screws I feel are original and one misfit. When I get back to the garage I'll see if I can help.

Sorry, can't help you... us Daytona owners don't have those deflectors with holes....... cuts down on the aero-effect.........  :icon_smile_big:

Thanks for the input on the question.  I have got replies back and it seems that the length has varied from 0.75 to 1.25 inches.  Things may have been changed over the years, but just trying to make this restoration as correct as possible.  The length does not really impact the situation as long as it pulls down tight.  Just wanting to make sure that size of the head fills the deflector correctly and the Phillips head slots are close to being accurate.

I think a 1 1/4 " screw would be a little excessive in the A Pillar. :scratchchin:
