It’s not a real resto until you find a wood screw

Ugh, pour your misery down on me indeed.

What part do you need help with?

Step one pour yourself a stiff shot of your favorite pain killer.

Just kidding!

Step one is grab a Philips and get that outta there. Hopefully it's only a #8 x 1/4" or 1/2". Number #10 would do some pretty good damage to the plastic.

What I have done in the past is put a few drops of medium CA (if it's open on the other side seal it, even temporarily). If the hole is really damaged I would suggest putting some tiny pieces of plastic in there to make a slurry. I have used little bit of zip ties.

I wait generally 5-10 minutes with a slow acting one. Then gently insert a proper looking counter sunk screw SLOWLY. Wipe away excess glue and let it set.

Shoo-goo also works if you have that on hand.

Good luck!

What issue are we talking about? I'm guessing you are talking about the Phillips head screw being the wrong size? Or is it the other flat head that's not flush? Looks like you still have enough material for semi easy removal and find out what thread that screw is. Proper Team Associated 8-32 x 1/2" FHPS screw and white nylon/plastic zip tie for possible threading issue fix on the rear arm mount if not wanting to get a new mount. Unless you want original look/material of OEM resto, I'd probably skip Team Associated's aluminum 8-32 x 1/2" FHPS screws and go with something like...

My "A" stamp had a couple alum Phillips Head Machine Screws. Common on early cars.

Aluminum. Eek

Aluminum. Eek

But they're used for light weight and mostly screwed into nylon parts.

My favorite method for almost-rounded out Phillips screw heads is to add a dab of valve grinding compound... it really gives the screwdriver some grip.
