<p class="MsoNormal">The screws are #8 by ˝” , countersunk, Phillips or Pozidrive, chromed. I would also suggest that you purchase a longer male part of the “Tenax” to screw into the dashtop at the centre, makes it a lot easier to work with, see photo.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Folks</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lets back up a bit. The turn button for the earlier 6 cylinder cars, like BN6, is the same part number (Moss) and part, and in real life the same as the 100 cars. On the 100 you use two screws to fasten the turn button. Have never have
seen the 100 cars use anything other than number 4 sheet metal screws. By merit that the part numbers are the same in the Moss catalog and in real life, the early six cylinder cars used a number 4 sheet metal also. A rivet would have to be much larger diameter.
To verify I just installed a new number 4 screw in an original BN4 scuttle top panel and it screwed in just like it should.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope everyone is having a great day. Raining like crazy in western PA but still a good day.

<p class="MsoNormal">If you look at the Moss Motors parts parts manual it shows a rivet (64) is used to attach the turn button. I guess the answer will be the size of the attachment holes in the turn buttons/turnbuckles when they arrive. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If screws are used, do they have to go through to the steel or will the trim backing board have enough strength to hold the tonneau? Probably not!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I need to install several turn buttons to hold the front end of my new tonneau cover to the trim over the inner panel scuttle top. I believe the visible vinyl covers a hardboard or similar semi rigid backing. Am I right in thinking that
I need to use blind rivets to go all the way through this trim piece to attach the turn button to the steel inner panel scuttle top? Or should this be a screw attachment to the steel? Comments please.</p>
