Subject: [Tigers] button snap fasteners

Hello,
?The vinyl cover for the convertible top on Mk1A's and MkII has both =
'Lift-the-Dot" and? button snap fasteners.My question concerns the =
button snap fasteners.One of my button snaps has finally made its screw =
hole too big for the # 6 screw. A new # 6 still is too small to anchor =
correctly..Does anyone know a source for a button snap with the original =
size button but with a # 8 screw. I tried West Marine and all they have =
is various length # 6.?Thanks in advance,?Jim Armstrong
