Title: Darrin overdrive cover
Post by: njpatera on November 03, 2017, 02:44:32 PM: What type of fastener (head and thread type) is suppose to hold the cover in place? Mine are MIA...the old man removed them years ago:-/

Photo later...the system will not allow a jpg directly from my phone.

Thanks again for making this information available Jim B. I've used it numerous times.

Post by: njpatera on November 04, 2017, 07:18:04 AM: I think I found the listing...200866...Bolt...lol, other listing shows a 7/16'' hex head...Hmmm...I got lucky and wiggled under and found what appears to be a last survivor of a phillips head machine screw in the top cover under the dash...after looking at the thread marks left in the hole its definitely machine screw, so looks like I'll try to match it up today:-)

Post by: pjkaiser on November 05, 2017, 04:23:02 PM: I have found most of the screws used with brackets etc. are 1/4 - 20 x 3/4" Pan Head Phillips. I used these wood stay nuts with the tabs bent down and epoxied them to the fiberglass from underneath. It was a pain to undo them with a lock-nut.
