You need a lot, around 150 pieces of each minimum, expensive though, but

worth it. I have changed them all by stainless steel ones.

I would strongly recommend to use torx screws instead, they are more

suitable ( they fit a lot better) for electric screw drivers with adjustable

torque.

Actually for a CJ6 you need 336 of the 4mm, and 102 of the 5mm.  And not all that expensive (at)26.00 per hundred.

I bought 500 4mm and 200 5mm and have a few left on my yak. I put a nylon

washer underneath each screw to prevent any corrosion between the ss screw

and the aluminum. Even though the screws varied in length from 8 to 12 mm, I

bought all 12mm and had no problems. I bought the screws wholesale for about

$19 per hundred, and the washers from McMaster Carr.

Guys,

 There are many styles of Phillips head screws, some pan head, some truss head, some low profile truss head just to name a few.  They come in many different profiles, pitches and head styles.  If you want the correct screw you've got to know what to ask for.  If you call MMC and ask for 4mm philips head screws you just might end up with something that would be correct to use on your tractor rather than the correct sized screw, with the correct thread pitch and the correct head profile.  I have sold thousands of these screws in the past years. 

   

 The possibility of dissimilar metal corrosion on the painted surface under the screw head is zip to nil, but the nylon washer does help a bunch to protect the paint.  On newer/softer paints the base of the screw head will become "bonded" to the painted surface, when the screw is removed at a later date it breaks the paint loose around the screw head, the nylon washer prevents this, this is the main reason the nylon washers are used.  

 

  

 Best from Omak,

  

 Doug
