I'm getting ready to mount my rocker panels and I was wondering what is the proper fastening hardware to do the job. I can't seem to find any pictures. Is it a simple phillips machine screw from the top with a washer and nut from below? What about the bottom? Thanks.

I agree about sheet metal screws. You can remove your rockers more often if you need to inspect. Also, I had to get ALL the screws started, top and bottom before tightening. You can't do that with rivets.
I used stainless steel screws from Home Depot. Here are the rubber spacers. http://www.914centralshop.com/Porsche-914-...-rubbersill.htm Attached thumbnail(s)
