Tell us what the year the car is, as there's differences.
Are you just asking about screw size, or something more?

Need screws, it's a 1958.
I've looked through all my bits and nothing fits.

The original Pt No was RTZ 805, which doesn't really help as often the old part numbers aren't recognised.
I did find an Australian Mini site which used that number for Mini headlamp ring, which on the Minor was AJA5081.
While the 7" headlamp trim was widely used across various models in those days; there really wasn't an economy of rationalised parts in those days...

You're basically looking for a small countersunk self tapper like this.

It will be an Imperial screw size which is probably why nothing you have fits.

I think they were self tapper when fitted...

Yes they are but my experience of replacing screws here and there is that having a selection of Imperial sized screws (I use stainless steel) is the way to go. There are self tappers holding things to the bulkhead (control box, fuse box etc) and the head rail on the top of a convertible windscreen. Metric diameter screws are not an exact match.

Thanks again for all info guys,
I think I will buy a box of mixed ones.

Found these, ones got to fit I hope

If no luck, have a look through this section of the ESM website (which includes screws): https://www.morrisminorspares.com/body- ... s-trim-c38

Many thanks
