I bought the whole kit. If anyone has radio bezel , does it only have 3 screw holes and what screws go in it?
It's getting irritating when you pay $500 for something and it does not even come with screws or anything. Chasing nuts and bolts and screws is driving me nuts on this assembly process.   :brickwall:

Hello, have solved your problem yet? The rallye dash radio plates for 68-69 B Body used three screws from the factory. If you need pics of the OEM screws I can provide them. I might even have extras.

Thanks TT :cheers:

I have those type of screws for my gauge cluster but my radio plate screws are different. Should I be using the ones you pictured for the radio bezel? Could be work of PO's on my Charger.

I believe they take a phillips, ovalhead sheetmetal screw. I believe a #6 wire about 1 to 2 inches in length.

   :scratchchin:  I always thought  , the screws were the same for the radio bezel too  :shruggy:   :popcrn:

never seen a completely unrestored charger in real life so to speak  or one that close enough for me to start unscrewing stuff ! to have a look  :lol:

I did have some real good close up pictures of  radio bezels in unrestored cars , showing the screws , but sadly lost that folder amongst others ,   when computer blew up , couple of years back . it was from them I come to the conclusion , they were the same .   even  mine that was mostly original when I got it    , previous owners had been playing with the dash ,  my original woodgrain  radio bezel was missing , it had been replaced with a 68 one with rear speaker fader ,  with a few of the dash bezel screws missing  ,  on the radio bezel it had 2 screws holding it  , & it was same as the picture in my first post  :shruggy:

just my findings  , who knows !  , what (BL) said oval phillips head sheet metal screw , sounds feasible too  they are all over a charger interior :scratchchin:  ,

I just used what fit, they are a bit longer than the others. Or at least mine needed to be with my bent up dash.

I believe the reasons for the difference is the gauge bezel area have the screws go into clips, the radio area goes straight into the sheetmetal using a self tapping screw that is a little beefier. The bezel also sits a bit farther away from the screw hole in spots than the gauge area where things make that pointy peak.
