I've been looking at various photos I've saved of fairly original 2nd Gens, noticed that the 4 screws holding the glovebox lid to the dash on the inside as it closes, vary a fair amount.

All are blackened, a few have what appears to be the same phillips-head screws as the glovebox liner uses. Other use similar but with small captive washer under the head.

Then there's the similar alternative but using a hex head screw only, or again, with a captive washer under the head.

What's yours have that you believe is original?

As I recall......Van Nuys builds used a black (phosphate) phillips button head with a small washer face....

Don't recall seeing hex head screws there ever....Prolly a previous owner hack?

I concur with green hornet, same on my ‘78 Van Nuys T/A.
