I also always thought the longer screws were incorrect, but then I saw these 2 cars with early and mid-year build dates with the screws. Now I believe some were equipped with these from Hamtramck.



Yes, but are the screws flat or conical? A conical screw into a flat washer doesn't make much sense.

The screws appear to be conical. And I agree with you 100%, it doesn't make sense for that type of screw to be used for that application.

I have seen this same exact screw also on OE valences. Does not make since but I have see it.
