I have absolutely no issue with the relay mount on the FIA firewall. Can even get a phillips head screw driver straight in for mounting in the existing hole. Perhaps Patrick was talking about a 427  .
Now, about the missing screws (I have one on each side at the moment) on my convertible top "hook" on the side of the windscreen.

Those might be Whitworth threaded fasteners.  |

I believe from past experience, they are. Now, where to find them in the right size and length is the question.

Take out one that you still have and use one of those little Whitworth thread tools that you can buy off of Amazon to correctly identify what it is. Then you can order everything from Cheeseheads to Philisters here:

I reached out to Bob to see if he has any left in the box on his shelf
1 pair of them, and my new "proper Bosch" relays due in on Thursday and the FIA will be effectively have passed my rigorous "tech". Then I can work on the 289 roadsters center bracket, dash to windshield rattle, and be done with that car as well.
