Dumb question. What type and size of fasteners are used to attach the kick panels?
Screws, clips, ????
(I wish we had a parts catalog like the PET Porsche puts out which lists the fastener types and sizes)

Sorry out of state at moment, but I'm sure if you contact Werkberg he would sell you some. They are black in color and shorter than a drywall screw. I'm home on the 9th and can measure them then if needed.

The originals were oval-head sheet metal screws with what are usually referred to as "finishing washers". The thread was
very similar to what would be found on a U.S. #7 sheet metal screw, but they only make #6 and #8 so you will likely
have to choose between a little loose and a little tight. My '71 bus has two screws per panel, and possibly there were clips
attaching to the fresh-air box above the top edge of the panels (mine are missing).
