side scoop screws

Does anyone have the fastener info that holds the 2 side scoops on a fastback through the scoop into the brackets

Oval head countersunk screw. From memory I can't remember the exact size but it shouldn't be hard to figure out. They were supposed to be hand paint touched up from the factory with not regard for priming or surface prep consequently the paint commonly flacked off in short order leaving the shiny screw head exposed. The shiny screw head was so commonly seen even on low mileage survivor cars that many restorers thought that they were left unpainted. The carriage head bolt on the front valance was another bolt head that was hand painted touched up that comes to mind.

I went to the effort of priming and prepping those bolts and screws and the end result was that the paint lasted 15 minutes longer then the without prep.

The "black stainless" used on my '68 originally (?) is a better solution for me. At least that looks like it was planned?
