Kenworth T800 Dash Nuts & Screws

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T800 Dash Nuts & Screws

What are Kenworth T800 dash nuts and screws used for?

These small hardware components are used to secure interior dash panels, trim pieces, gauge clusters, and other fasteners inside the cab of a Kenworth T800. Over time, factory hardware can strip, corrode, or go missing, and these replacement nuts and screws allow you to properly reattach loose or rattling dash components without having to replace the entire panel.

Will these nuts and screws fit my specific Kenworth T800 model year?

Kenworth T800 dash hardware can vary slightly depending on the model year and cab configuration. Before ordering, check the product listing for any noted year ranges or part number cross-references, and compare the thread size and length of your existing hardware if possible. If you are unsure about fit, reach out to our parts team with your VIN or model year so we can confirm compatibility before you buy.

What materials and finishes are available for this hardware?

Dash nuts and screws are typically offered in standard steel or stainless steel construction, often with a zinc, chrome, or black oxide finish depending on where they are used inside the cab. Stainless or plated options are generally more resistant to corrosion, which is helpful in areas prone to moisture or temperature changes.

How do I know what size nut or screw I need?

The best approach is to remove the existing fastener, if it is still intact, and measure the thread diameter, thread pitch, and overall length. If the original hardware is missing or too damaged to measure accurately, take note of the panel or component it secures, since dash trim, gauge clusters, and switch panels can use different sized hardware within the same cab.

Can I install these dash nuts and screws myself?

Yes, most dash nuts and screws are simple to install with basic hand tools like a screwdriver or small wrench, and no special equipment is required. Take care not to overtighten small fasteners, especially on plastic dash panels, since excessive torque can crack or strip the mounting point.
