Dan - the limits of your resources for pictures and information never ceases to amaze me!

Yes, Dan's resources know no limits! Great. Sheet metal screws into the aluminium? Cheaper, I suppose.

More than a few restored Cobras /427 Cobras had at one time or another glued in screws because the holes were stripped and no one thought to weld up the enlarged holes and start over while the bonnet was without paint.

Worse than that, when the last owner had my red car car repainted before he sold it the holes were enlarged and blind rivets used to fix the escutcheons in place. Why they didn't weld up the holes and start over is beyond me.
