Re: TR6 Timing cover screws

["Robert M. Lang" <LANG@ISIS.MIT.EDU>]

Hi,

You asked about the little screws on the timing cover...

Just a guess, but there's 5 or 6 of them, and they merely screw into the
fron engine plate. That plate's around 1/4" thick - and the screws are also
about that thick.

My theory: there's not many hex-head bolts available in a .25 inch length.

Like I said - the is mere speculation.

But recall: these cars were made with mostly off the shelf parts.

Maybe they had a lot of 1/4 " pan head screws from the Fergueson days...
