Anyone recognize these?
« on: August 19, 2020, 19:10:04 »
These were in a bag of cowl hardware but I can’t figure out where they are supposed to go.  Any ideas?

I've restored a car recently and do not recall seeing any of those.

Are they M4, M5 or M6?

4 screws look like the ones that hold the hood release catch to firewall.
2 nuts and washer look like the cowl vent hinge flap fasteners.

You might be right Walt.  I just sent a bunch of new M6 flat heads out to the platers when i sent stuff off just in case.

Yes, I second Walter's guess on the flat head screws for the firewall hood latch.

If not the hood latch on the firewall then perhaps the door locks?

And here is another suggestion.  Maybe the B pillar chrome lock plate cap screws
