'69 Charger Dash Screws - Source?

Getting ready to put my dash back in.   When my car was restored they replaced my factory dash panel screws with something not even close.   No idea why that was done and I am pretty mad about it.   But if they can be replaced then I will live with it.

Any suggestions for a vendor?   They were an unusual screw as I recall.   The screwhead was closer to a barrel or coke can than your standard Home Cheapo screws.   No idea how to describe them but I am sure someone can point me the right way.

Thanks in advance.

Try YearOne, shipping shouldn't be that bad.

They sell a full-car screw kit.  I don't need everything, just the dash.  I also can't see the pictures so am hesitant to buy it unless I know it is correct...   (I am sure they are, but have been burned before.)

I ended up getting some from a generic screw vendor at a swap meet this summer.

Just what screws are you talking about, the ones that bolt the dash to the cowl, the side screws??  Maybe a pic of where they go would help.

Here are the screws and retainers that go along the front edge.

They are the five screws that go through the black plastic on the instrument panel and secure it to the car.  They are a Phillip's head but they don't look like what you find in a hardware store....


To remove your instrument cluster these are what you unscrew....  


These are similar but as I recall they have no shoulder and are Phillip's.
