Anyone post a picture of the correct screws that holds the tomato can in our cars? Any head markings, correct finish?
Thanks

I'll post a picture a little later but they are basically a flanged hex head machine screw. Someone might sell the correct screws but I found some that were identical except for the new ones had a slot in the head for a flat screw driver.

I shot three pictures for you. Looks to me like they're a 1/4" machine screw that is 7/8" long. The OE pair have an unslotted 3/8" hex head and as I said before the new ones I found are identical in every way except for the slot. I got the new ones either at Baxter Auto Parts in one of their catch-all fastener racks or at a hardware store. The only head marking I could find was a sort of bullseye/target pattern on one of them. The other is pitted so badly that I can't see a pattern on it if there was one. I assume they were just zinc plated originally, not sure. I'll probably throw the OE screws in with the next batch of stuff I get plated because I really don't want the slotted heads.
