Percy,

thank you for noticing. I chose them precisely because they do resemble the factory thumbscrews used on the fuse panel covers.

The factory thumbscrews are an M5 thread.

to mount my new gauge panel I used caged nuts (as used on the steel firewall cover) to allow adjustment for some misalignment between the base and panel. Rather than hunt down M5 caged nuts I used 10-32 caged nuts that I had on hand. As those and the stock M5 threads are very close in size I just re-tapped the four new panel nuts to accept the M5 thumbscrews

I purchased my stainless steel screws from eBay. Search “M5 thumbscrews” and you will have more choices than you know what to do with. I chose to polish my stainless steel thumb screws to match the gauge trim, but there are anodized aluminum thumbscrews in every color of the rainbow. Must be a import car thing

Larry
