    Could someone be kind enough to post a ref pic of one of the 7 bolts
    that hold the black zippered/aluminum spare tire cover in place on a 308.

    I had removed the cover and fiberglass spare tub when I bead blasted the front chassis and installed an aluminum radiator.
    I have now modified the fiberglass spare tire tub to fit with the new radiator as a small luggage storage space.
    So I am at the reassemble stage but have misplaced the bolts that hold the zippered cover in place, and even though the car is modified beyond the point of originality, I would still like to use bolts that match what was original.

    Thanks!

    Dave,
    Mine uses standard phillips head screws, but I have no idea if they are original.

    If you don't mind, where did you get the modified tub? Do you mind not having a spare tire? Maybe when you finish you could post us a picture or two of the final result.

    Thanks

    I modified the tub myself.
    I posted pics at the other site, since I can't post them here.
    As far as a spare tire goes, my 308 did not have one when I bought it.
    I carry a can of fixiflat for emergencies.

    Don't forget they're metric before you try to force some English thread pan head down there....Mine are gold colored pan head, flat blade screwdriver types though.

    6mm x 1.0 pitch thread.
    I ended up using stainless steel phillips pan-heads for now.
    Not that bad looking.
