Cowl Screen
« on: December 12, 2010 - 04:32:14 PM »
What is the correct screw fastener to attach the cowl screen on a 71 Cuda.  A picture would be great.

I think it's a hex head sheet metal screw. That was what was on mine.

These are the 70 screws sometimes found on early production 71's like mine were.

They were originally black phosphate coated. If you don't have the Eastwood metal blackening kit already, I would advise just getting new ones instead.

R/T Specialties is great place to buy from but so is AMK products.

Only reason I bring them up is that if you order over 50 dollars of hardware from AMK, you should receive a catalog showing all the hardware in it. Very Helpful at times.
