Does anyone know the size of the screws to affix the undercarriage pedal cluster cover? I lost my cover and have another one coming but not sure what size screws it needs. '78 Baywindow

excellent. thank you. I was having a hard time finding this with all the non-standard names for the pan. _________________ '73 Super Beetle (first car, sold in 2000)

Assuming your old cover fell off, you likely need to go a size larger on the screws. I got some one size up self drilling screws from my local hardware. Nice quality screws with a washer style hex head. |

if the factory screws are loose you can use a punch to peen around the hole and shrink it. Use red Loctite if they seem loose at all.
Or you can drill new holes and put in new self tapping threaded screws. _________________ “Most people don’t know what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” - George Carlin |
