Hi, I am looking for a source of screws specified in F4U Corsair Assembly Parts Lists (Windshield assy). It specified (for example) CVC-141-3-6A type screws. Does anyone know where I can source this type? Mr. Goggle is not helping thus far. Many Thanks Rob

The chances of you finding a WWII package of screw that have a Chance Vought label and say CVC-141-3-6A are pretty slim.
Per the CVC print that screw is a 100 degree countersunk head, 3/16 dia,10-32 threads, undrilled, and made from 4037 or equiv steel heat treated to 125,000 psi.
If you look at the specs of a MS24694 you will see it has nearly identical specs. The lengths are measured in 32's instead of 16's.
