I'm bringing a 1952 Sidemount back to life but it is missing the screws/nuts that hold the points and condensor.
What I have is what this pic shows - condensor and rotor and I also have the plastic cover and distributor cap.

I can grab some points at NAPA - but dunno what screws and/or nuts I need to drum up. Can one of you fellas point me in the right direction?
 
New points come with the nuts. You should just need the screws.
I think they are #8. They need to be short like 1/4 or shorter.
You may have to put washers on 1/4 long screws to keep the ends
of the screws from hitting the advance weights under the breaker
plate.

You might also be missing throttle spring clip that holds the
rotor. The spring does not come with the rotor.
 
Here's what the parts catalog shows:

#57683S36

Screw, Pan Hd, W/Washer, G5, #8-32 x 1/4"

A "internal tooth lock washer" works just fine along with the standard panhead machine screw.
 
Get out your '39-'53 MPC for part numbers, descriptions, and diagrams. What happened to the ones that were there? Here is your picture...

Thanks to all you guys for the info.

Thanks also for posting the pic - I went back to edit it and add the IMG tags and found that editing a post was disabled.
The originals were "misplaced" when someone cannibalized this ones points for another 8N that was in the process of being sold(needed them quick).


 
Auto correct changed my sentence. Should have been." You might be missing the small spring clip that holds the rotor."
