Jepson Self-Tapping Screws plus Black Caps (pack of 100) (40300400)

Description

Genuine Jepson · Part no. 40300400

A workshop tub of 100 stainless steel self-tapping screws from Jepson, each with a black cap that hides the head once the plate is on. Black suits the black and silver plates on historic vehicles and plates fitted against black plinths or dark trim, where a white or yellow cap would stand out.

Good to know

• Can I put black caps on a modern plate? It is a looks choice rather than a rule, but black and silver number plates are only legal on vehicles built before 1980 that are in the historic vehicle tax class, which is where black caps match most naturally.
• Do I need to drill first? Self-tapping screws cut their own thread but need a pilot hole; self-drilling screws make their own hole. Most cars already have holes in the plate plinth to reuse.
• Why stainless? Stainless steel screws resist rust, so they are far less likely to leave brown streaks down the plate or seize in the bumper the way plain steel screws do after a few winters.

Which one?

For a smaller pack, the Pearl Number Plate Caps & Screws – Black – Pack of 50 (PNP468R); for one-piece screws with the cap moulded on, the Jepson Polytop screws 3/4in (pack of 100) – Black (40400400).
