    At the Syracuse Nationals a few weeks ago, I noticed that the rear hood hold down screws on my 32 Ford Roadster had departed and there's nothing holding the bracket.
    I'm pretty sure the one that goes in through just the firewall lip is a weird size because the countersink hole is huge. Anyone have any idea what size screws these are?

    Thanks~

    Pertt sure they're 1/4 unc. Nylocks or shake proof washers required.

    Ford used a lot of #12 for some reason. If it’s not 1/4 it’s probably #12.
