[Tigers] Correct trunk hinge fasteners

[Allan Ballard]

Thanks Ron and all 

We have a big  “All British” show this time of year.  I like to enter even though  a driver doesn’t stand a chance :)

These little details are important and I enjoy getting them right.

A photo record of each series would constitute an invaluable resource.
