Just curious... what did you put on your car, Rich?  |
Yes I know those were also repainted later and are examples of cars that retained the bolts through the original paint job and through a repaint. What I am saying is that there are multiple paths depending on the car. Some retained the bolts through the first paint and subsequent, some retained the bolts through the first paint and lost them on a repaint, but many actually went to phillips head screws as the car was completed and painted for the first time.
I am actually going through some changes on my car in this exact area. I originally went with phillips head screws. I am just changing my filler cap from the chrome Enots to an NOS original Enots that has the duller finish instead of the more reflective chrome. As I am making this change I have been considering again the hex heads but have not yet sourced them. I guess I may end up with a car that took the opposite path with phillips heads originally and then a change to hex heads.
