Skip, I think you are missing the crux of the original question. It
was , "What are the screws which hold down the outer edge of the
floorboards in a T-Series car". The key word is outer. On the outer
edge there is no provision for a caged nut and bolt arrangement in a
metal body component as there is on both the inner and rear edges of the
floorboards, where as you rightly say BSF machine screws are used. For
attachment purposes, the outside edges of the floorboards can only be
made conveniently by using wood screws spaced approximately the same as
the inner bolts and fastened into the thick ash longeron side member.
