My dash was also installed with large wood screws. Some are still
there.

In that same vein, I found two wood screws holding my dashboard in
the
car! I seriously doubt if anyone had been digging around in there
before me and we owned the car since 1980. Factory? Did DeTomaso
workers also ';use what they had around' in some places?

regarding Larry Westonas two sets of tail lights: one with threaded
machine screws, the other with awooda screws. As in all things
Pantera,
we have come to accept variations in assembly/equipment as indicative
of factory-created variety. What we tend to forget is these cars are
FORTY+ years old and until just recently they have not been seen as
collector-worthy cars. Thus repairs made by all the previous owners
have not been restricted to aoriginalitya. I have received used
lights
from Europe with numerous aincorrecta lens screws. Even in metric
Europe, folks often tend towards the aIall use what I have on-handa
repair approaches. And here in metric-phobia USA, not many garage
coffee cans have 4mm phillips, filiister head machine screws. The
observation that the awood screwa lenses do not show signs of
screw-hole cracks just tells me that set's lenses are newer than the
other set. I suspect that set was compiled from housings/lenses some
time after manufacture, perhaps from different sources, and the P.O.
fell prey to the ause what I havea option for the lens screws. The
white nylon washers with the awood screwsa are original to Carello,
however. They often remain attached to used lenses after the screws
have been removed. Larry - Are all four lenses marked Carello? There
are reproduction aCarello stylea lenses on the current market -
MrFiat
and Hall sell that version. Also, since Jeff had to reduce the
diameter
of the machine screw heads he found I suspect what he used were in
fact
pan head machine screws. The two styles are closely similar, but the
fillister style tends to have sharper head edges and sides; some
fillister head sides are totally flat and parallel to the threaded
shafts. I still do not believe any Carello lights originally came
with
awood screwsa. Larry _______________________________________________
