    When I bought my maverick it was missing the headlight bezels. I finally got a pair off ebay the other day and have been trying to figure out what size screws to use to attach them. My dad was thinking either #7 or #8 sheet metal screws, but I thought I'd check here first before getting a bunch of different screw from the hardware store.

    Be sure you get them with the stainless beveled screw with oval head. You might find the correct type of screw at a local body shop (I keep them at mine), auto paint jobber, or seat cover shop. I don't remember seeing the correct ones in a hardware store but then again, they don't HAVE to be correct to work.

    Thanks guys, I ended up going over to Checkers and they had the oval screws so I got them. The bezels are on and my Maverick is looking quite a bit nicer.
