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

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.
