[DeTomaso] Fiberglass Trunk Insert Fasteners

[Michael Shortt]

Adding more mystery to the situation, I took a closer look at the
receptalces in my car, it has 6mm Nutserts installed in a perfectly round
hole, no filler and no sign of it ever having the origihal style fasteners,
there are no repair holes for the other two smaller holes that retain the
female part of a stock fastener.  Looks like it was done from the factory
this way, who knows, Stephno ran out of parts one day in June 1971.

I'm going to seek out some gold toned wide topped fasteners that use a
slotted screwdriver to look like the originals, think I can find those in a
6mm fine thread?
