Reply to "Valve cover emblems & now extensions (11/24) update"

OK, mastic sounds like a nice search objective!

I've also got a tube of "automotive" silicon, which I have used on various bits in the past, normally as sealer, but also to hold window glass in their channels. But it must be "automotive"! Bath tub and tile won't cut it!

Alrighty, one more question related to the stock Ford extensions that are fastened to the covers to keep the wires off of the air tubes......

What size are the small screws? They appear in one picture that someone posted on another thread, to be oval head, about 10mm long. Hole in the small bracket on the V/C is 3mm. If memory serves me...some have nuts.....some like the picture from the post about engine compartments, appear to not have nuts.....

The stock fasteners were self tapping hex heads (1/4 or 5/16" head) about 5/16" long as seen in my pic above.

I'm guessing that DeT workers disassembled the pieces when they welded the small tab in place for the throttle return spring, for them to repaint it, and likely lost the screws.....and grabbed what they could find to "git er done!"

Cheers!
