Hi,
Can anyone help with the correct spec and/or part numbers for the screws/nuts/washers that attach the headlamp nacelles to the bonnet on a S1 3.8 please? The previous owner who restored the car used 1 inch lengths of sawn-off 2BA (I think) studding and nuts as required. Now that I've gone to the trouble of restoring the nacelles to the correct colour, I may as well use the correct fixings to fit them! I looked at the SNG Barratt catalogue but I can't see them listed. My understanding is that screws should be fitted from inside the bonnet area, through the captive nuts on the nacelle and locked by further nuts once the nacelles are correctly aligned. However, I don't know what to buy. I'm guessing stainless steel would be the best material. Any advice welcome!
Regards, Rob.

Hi Rob
You need 2 off 3/16" UNF x 3/4" hex head set screws and 4 off 3/16" UNF x 1" hex head set screws. You also need 6 off 3/16" spring washers, plain washers and (UNF) nuts, of course.
The spares book also says use distance pieces C1094. Quantity as required.
