Just to be clear it is a 1/4 20 machine thread with a chisel tip. NOT a sheet metal screw.

I can get you a picture in the morning. There has been some discussion that some cars did not get a clamp. If your bracket is original does it have threads visible.

Great re; photo Bill, I might hijack that one :biggthumpup:
And on a side note I have seen a few survivor's without the clamp, along with no threads in he hole.

I think skips orange z had a tie on it. I'm not sure if it was random or period they did not use one.
