The parts book indicates that there are (3) CMZ0308 screws required. They are
#10-32 recessed countersunk-head machine screws, 1/2" long. Zinc plated. Each
screw requires a flat washer, a spring washer & a nut. My Phase 1 BJ8 also has
(2) drain holes near the corner of the "U" channel. In the bottom of the "U".
The (3) screw holes are in the front leg of the "U".

My BN7 has flat head phillips in the worn hole locations. The "drain" holes are
unoccupied but can't confirm original intention.

Subject: [Healeys] Shroud Repair
Hi All,
I am presently working on restoring my shrouds. I have a question on the front
shroud. I?ve attached a photo that shows the bonnet opening right at the front.
Along the perimeter of the opening are three mounting holes where the front of
the shroud is bolted to the sub-structure. I?ve identified the holes with red
ovals, and they are labelled as ?A?.
Over the years those mounting holes enlarged to the point where the original
screw heads wore themselves right through the aluminum. 20 years ago I replaced
the original screws with larger headed screws, and even made dished washers out
of aluminum sheet to help secure the shroud.
To restore it I plan to TIG weld in new metal and then drill new holes. The
problem is that I don?t have any idea of how big the holes should be. I also
don?t know what the correct screw type might be. Were they countersunk heads,
Philips, pozidrive, or flat? So if any of you guys can tell me the proper hole
size and screw type I?d very much appreciated it.
Also you can see an additional hole far to the left that I?ve labeled ?B?.
There is a similar one on the other side. Is it supposed to be there as a
drain?
Thanks in advance for any help. I?m starting to see the light at the end of
this restoration tunnel. :-)
