S4 DHC attaching the hood frame tray ?

[lottex]

Can anyone please advise...I'm restoring an S4 Sprint DHC and as well as all the tennax studs, the hood tray has also been attached with two chrome counter sunk self tapping screws that pass through the B pillar and through the leading edge of the tray -any idea if this is original or a mod ? Thanks, Peter

Post up a picture Pete, might give a clue as to what you are refering to. Does not ring any bells with me though.

I think there was a thread on this in the summer - yes there is a crude horizontal screw fixing through the B pillar - and it looks 'orrible.

Hi Richard, thanks for the response. My cars fitted with no doubt the wrong fitting, ie a self tapper which frankly looks a little flimsy . Whilst searching around various other threads I saw a photo of another DHC fitted with a threaded screw, washer and nut. Without wanting to be too nerdy !! it would be good to get it right. Can anyone show me a picture of what the size of the screw head should look like please. Thanks Peter
