I bought a set of chrome OER Rallye mirrors.  I need to know what size screw / nutsert they are supposed to use.  I bought a nutsert tool that came with a variety of nutserts.  I need to know what size to use.  Sadly, the set came with 3 nutserts of each size, so I will need to pick up more as I need 4. UGH!

Your gonna love this....    Mopar used a special screw with a number 8 phillips style chrome head, but 10-24 threads

#8 screw & #10 threads..... :haha:

Most of the vendors carry them.... If you use a regular #10 screw the head sticks up above the recess...

Just take a stainless screw and chuck in a drill press and use a file to carve it down to size.

I just bought a nice assortment pack of nutserts on Amazon fairly cheap :twothumbsup:

I know you said you have some but I just bought this set on eBay, they seem correct and fit perfect. add doesn't say the size.

How did the included install tool work?  Any issues?  Thanks

It worked well. I had a couple still in the door so drilled them out so all would be new/good. No issues.
