Where do I get bit for this screw?

[Matt Meiser]

Hey, its got a Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._drives#Clutch

There are two types of clutch screw drives: type A and type G. Type A, also known as a standard clutch resembles a bow tie. These were common in GM automobiles, trucks and buses of the 1940s and 1950s. Type G resembles a butterfly. This type of screw head is commonly used in the manufacture of mobile homes and recreational vehicles.

And incidentally, so does "flogging a dead horse": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flogging_a_dead_horse

Hi Van, clutch head screws were common in the forties/fifties and sixties. I had a bunch of screwdrivers that I finally threw away a couple of years ago as I hadn't needed them in 20 years.......Bits are still common from fastener suppliers........Rod.

I can't believe how long these threads can go on even after the correct answer is given.

Hang around for 6-7 years and it'll get bumped.

Mac,
I am sorry, but the one you sent me is too big. It may be the right type, but it's too big. Thank you, it was a great gesture to send it. I'll send it back.

Seriously though, this thread was interesting to me. Anyone know the story behind this head design?
