Stainless 10/32 phillips (not Pozidrive) screws.
But I never had any problems with the cross flow rads coming out.
Did you guys have mexican cooks at the dago carry out?
That would explain it. And fake gold, there you go. No guinea hot peper 
hanging off a real gold chain.
Caddys are out, it has to be a black benz these days or nothing smaller
