Does anyone have a picture of what the screw looks like that secures the plastic vent grills under the hood of a 70 Cuda?

They may be phillips or hex head, both types were used.

Picture of originals, the hex variety seems to be more common on cars I have looked at so far;

Perfect. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out where I put them.

My 70 has hex head screws as well.

Both of my 70's had (have) the phillips screws. The screws also have a shoulder on them so you don't overtitghten them and crush the plastic.

Both our '70 cars have phillips screws. R/T Specialties shows hex-head for '71
