[DeTomaso] Short Tail Light Studs & Screws???

[Doug Braun]

Ken,

	My lens screws are machine thread, not self-tapping, so I must have the
other brand of lamps than you (of the 2 brands that made them).  Your studs
may not back out of the housings like 3 out of 4 of mine did so tread
carefully.

Doug

The full description of that one is:
Tapping screw, metric, oval torx head, Type AB, M4.2 x 30 mm with T15
recess.
Mine are 302 stainless.

the back piece, they look like number 6 one inch screws.  It that what I'm
stuck with?
