switch cover

[lisac]

I bought a 1971 singlewide that has unusual switch plate covers and light switch covers. They are double width but one side is solid, Some are missing and I can't find them. Also the screws holding the shower curtain rods in are unusual, like a square. What do you call this, a phillips or flat will not work.

The square screw head is called a clutch head. You can get a screwdriver or power driver bits set at any good tool department. For the light switch cover plates try the Mobile Home Parts Store.

The square head screw is actually a #2 Robertson. The covers can be purchased from Red Oak Trading Co, 421 Front St., Coeburn, Va. 24230 276-395-2670 as well as the bits for the Robertson Screws.
