Help! Quick Q (Already Searched): Size and thread count of license plate screws
Hey everyone.
Searched but could not find precise info.
I had to get a new plate (stupid new state law) recently, and both original screws holding old plate just snapped when removing the old plate (they have been on there for 12 1/2 years!).
Anyways, I was able to drill out broken screws successfully - BUT NOW am having trouble finding new screws that fit, MAINLY due to the thread pattern.
I've tried 6mmx1mm and 2 other sizes down to 5mmx.67mm with no luck - can't get screws to thread even though the existing screw holes are clean and debris free.
Any help?'
TIA
