Hey, everyone. On my 97 Civic DX, I purchased a new lower steering column cover because it has been missing on the car (after a break in). I noticed that it has 3 screw holes on the bottom cover. The original screws are gone, so I was wondering if anyone knew the thread pitch and length of the original screws that attach the upper and lower column covers?

Thank you in advance.

autozone has very similar screws usually, just grab one from the center console and match up.

That is a great idea. So all of the console screws should be the same as the column cover ones?

I think that's what he said.

honestly, most of the screws for all of that are the same, with minor differences, i just bought 2 boxes of 20 and replaced them all, since i pulled the plastics out of mine to remove a crappy alarm, and realized half the factory screws were missing.

so i pulled everything to clean it, went to autozone, spent $5 and now everything is proper.

I'd go to the salvage yard and grab a few screws. Everytime I go to the yard I also grab any lose bolts and screws I see and toss them into the bucket. Make sure you show the employees up front. Theft is theft, even if it's small. So far they never charge me for them at any yard. Might help if you're buying something from the yard though.

Thank you everyone for the great advice. I was able to find the column cover screws at Home Depot. Looks like they are Metric 5-.8 x 10mm pan heads.
