[Tigers] Cowl screw

[Alex Haugland]

Thanks for asking that!  I was trying to figure out if that screw was 
original to my car or not (and also what the heck it was for).  I've 
left it there when I stripped my car for repainting and, as it had been 
painted over previously, it's being painted over now while my car is in 
the process of going back to being the original Moonstone paint colour.  
If it shouldn't be painted, I'll probably remove it, blast it clean and 
replate it but until I hear otherwise, I'll probably leave mine painted.

There is a pan head screw on top of the cowl on the driver's side right above the firewall.  I've never known what this was for, although I speculate that it was used on the Alpine as a ground point (maybe?).  The question is a two-parter...first, what exactly is the screw for and, second...is it supposed to be painted the body color or left natural?
