Does anybody know where I can get the screws from that hold the cabin air filter box housing to the body? I think that they are M5 x 20 Pan head extended tip (dog point) screws. I'm not going to put the old ones back as some were very difficult to get out and rusty.
P38A Cabin Air Filter Housing.

Do you mean the pollen filters?

any hardware shop will sell them
Yes, the 8 screws that hold each of the pollen filter housings to the body. They are not regular screws as they have a plain unthreaded part at the end of the screw for location purposes.
I beg to differ, having tried several.

I have no idea what you are talking about, there are only 2 screws on each of the P38 pollen filter housings. Perhaps you mean the scuttle with the foam behind the grill openings?
I'm talking about the metal housing in which the pollen filter sits, you have to remove the scuttle to access it.

I have neve had the need to remove that assembly, so I have just been to my scrapper, the bolt heads are 10mm and the thread size looks like M6. Screw Fix or other fastening suppliers will have them, take a rusty bolt with you for comparison.
Thanks for your efforts but I know the part you are referring to and that's not the part I mean, I've removed that. Once the part you are referring to is removed you will see the plastic housing in which the pollen filter sits, and in the bottom of it are 8 off M5 x20 panhead screws which secure the housing to the bulkhead. It's these screws that I'm trying to get replacements for, I've attached a photograph so you can better understand why I don't want to put them back.

As above, but personally I would go for brass screws, they corrode less than stainless.
