I'm being very deliberate in the naming of this part as ICF is what it's called in my 1972 FSM. This is the center part of the dashboard and holds the map light, central air vent, heater controls and radio.

What I want to know id what type of screws are used to attach this to the dashboard. I know they are 4 mm threads and probably have a Phillips countersunk head, but are they chromed or are they black?

In all honesty, my car's ICF will look nothing like its OEM counterpart as I've added a Vintage Air GEN II Mini HVAC system and a Retrosound Motor 4 radio. As I didn't have the heart to hack up my OEM unit (thinking someone doing a proper restoration might some day want it) I bought a reproduction, all black ICF from Motorsport Auto and did my modifications on it, which was to cut out the heater control section and fabricate a new escutchceon (that's what the FSM calls them) from a piece of textured black ABS plastic for the Vintage Air Streamline 4-knob controls.

Here's a photo of the ICF all mocked up on my dashboard. I have yet to drill holes in the (also fabbed) radio escutcheon for attaching the lower part of the ICF. Hence the need to know something about the screws.
