Mine, I believe, are also original, but they have a flat top head that is
round (not 6 or 8 sided) & the threads look almost like self tapping sheet
metal threads (point of screw threads are tapered). You're right about them
being uncommon (most clutch heads ARE either round head or flat/pan head
countersunk).

>The clutch head screws in question are very unique. Typical clutch head
screws are either round head or countersunk. The vin ones are eight sided
like a regular bolt and have the clutch dimple in the middle. It's
basically a small machine screw. I've only been able to find them at
junkyards, and that means pulling the original vin to do it. Good luck.
