Tried to search, but having some issues with the site search I think?
Anyone know what size screws fit the rear apron on a 70 bus? The 6 inside the engine bay?

Rob one out of the fresh air duct end caps up front for an example, same size and washer as well as the tinnerman speed nut behind it.

I just use nuts and bolts. That's because I usually have a supply available and over the years the tinnermen get lost. 6mm bolts with fender washers will work. Not as quick on and off as the sheet metal screws but it does the job.
