Frequently Asked Questions About International PayStar 5000 Dash Nuts & Screws
What size and thread pitch are the dash panel screws for my PayStar 5000?
Most International PayStar 5000 dash panels use #10-24 screws for the main panel attachments and #8-32 screws for smaller trim pieces. The center dash typically requires 1/4"-20 bolts. We recommend checking your specific year model as International made minor changes between 2007-2018. All our hardware listings include detailed size specifications to ensure proper fitment.
Are these screws stainless steel or will they rust over time?
We offer both stainless steel and zinc-plated options for PayStar 5000 dash hardware. Stainless steel screws provide superior corrosion resistance and are ideal for trucks operating in harsh conditions or coastal areas. Zinc-plated screws offer good rust protection at a lower cost and work well for most applications. Each product listing clearly indicates the material type.
How many screws do I need to replace all the dash hardware in my PayStar?
A complete dash hardware replacement typically requires 18-24 screws for the main panel, 8-12 screws for the gauge cluster, and 6-10 screws for trim pieces. We recommend ordering our complete hardware kit which includes 50 pieces to ensure you have extras for stripped holes or lost screws. The kit covers all common dash fastener locations with properly sized replacements.
Will these screws work with aftermarket dash panels or only OEM?
Our dash screws are manufactured to OEM specifications and work with both factory International panels and most quality aftermarket replacements. However, some budget aftermarket panels may have non-standard hole sizes. If you're using an aftermarket dash, we recommend test-fitting one screw before installation or contacting us with your panel manufacturer details for compatibility confirmation.
Do I need special tools to install these dash screws without damaging the plastic?
Standard Phillips or hex drivers work fine, but we strongly recommend using a manual screwdriver rather than power tools to prevent overtightening and cracking. Start screws by hand first, then tighten until snug plus 1/4 turn. Many customers find magnetic tip screwdrivers helpful for reaching recessed mounting points. Avoid using thread-locking compounds on plastic dash components as they can cause stress cracking.
