Done a lot of reading on old threads here and have found that sizes for the bolts on the bottom of the rocker covers are 6MM X 12 (or 16 mm long) and the two screws in the fender well are #8X3/4 - but I can't find reference for a sheet metal screw size if you switch from rivets across the top...
Thanks! |

I did two 914's at work and had some problems. One, holes sizes all over the place.....two fiberglass rocker will crack out using rivets. One of the cars and mine at home I used the black screws that have a collar around them. Looks a little bigger but works really well. Not sure of the size, will have to buy a few and test. Best, Mark
