[6pack] Screw extraction

[Joe Alexander]

We never put them on the two race cars and only do on the TR3A because they

I like the explanation from Berry, that they were only there so they wouldn't
fall off on the the production line.

Forty years of tractor assembly allows me to identify with that.
