[Healeys] Aluminum door trim fastener

[linwood rose]

Andy,
I wrote to Rich because he knows his stuff. I copied the list because  
in this case, I have not seen this particular code before, and  
thought others might benefit from Rich's knowledge. There is a  
reference guide in the back of the Anderson Moment Restoration book.  
I have not yet heard from Rich. Your analysis of the letters makes  
sense. However, I am guessing that the numbers mean #8, and 3/4."  
Although 3/4" seems a little long for the particular application. I  
await the delivery of the answer from the "all knowing." He has never  
steered me wrong and he even puts up with my bolt-on modifications.

Ed Driver's AH Spares reference helps (appreciated Ed) but it does  
not include the dimensions of the screw. I would rather not have to  
order only 6 screws from Great Britain.

Someone else on the list has put together a VERY NICE summary of all  
the fasteners. I don't recall who at the moment. Andy if you need it  
I can find it when I return from vacation in about 10 days and send  
it to you.

Thanks, Rich!
