Where to get the scew fasteners for the hood/trunk?

Well it finally happened... after posting about how I had no trunk lid problems one of the screw fasteners loosened up and came out allownig the T-handles to come loose... that sure looked good flapping behind me on the front straight at VIR and of course it happened right after the entrace to pit road so I had to do a whole lap slow.

I need to replace the one and get some spares. The body work has provisions for a screw fastener on each side and 3 accross the top. We're not using the side ones so I'll drill those out too.

I use hood pins and clips on right angle brackets fastened to the wing supports. No way it's coming off

I wouldnt bother buying anymore of the screw fasteners Brian. It will just happen again.

Just swap over to Dzus fasteners on the leading edge and problem solved. This is what I did after the first time out in the car when my "bootlid air brake" activated.............
