Engine cover screws.

[new_puma]

Would like the screws that hold the grey cover on top of rocker please. As I have three missing and the remaining ones are rounded off (Mobile mechanic) :-(

Ebay are too expensive if you ask me.

£3 too much? M6 x 16mm all round will be fine if you don't want to splash out another £3.40 on M6x20mm for the front 3.

Oh thanks, I didn't know the sizes to buy them independently, last time i searched it was £25 a set of screws for the puma cover.

Thanks k:

They will do the job, but the trouble with standard button head bolts is that the heads look too small when fitted - the originals are 3x M6x20 and with a 14mm diameter head and 6x M6x12 with a 16mm diameter domed head (just measured them) - the standard button heads are typically only 10mm diameter domed head and just don't look right - plus the stainless isn't anywhere as shiny and lush looking as the chrome ones :wink: But then I guess I'm really, really picky...!

Still looking for a comparable looking but low cost alternative...

I think these ones might look very tidy - there ia a choice of colours (Red, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Gold, Purple, Green, etc).

Downside: They aren’t super cheap, but at £9 inc p&p they aren’t terribly expensive either BUT there are only 8 in a set!!!!!!!
They are also 20mm, so you may have to shorten some of them - not sure of the longest bolt the blind holes will take but suspect it will be less than 20mm.

For the more budget conscious and far less flash, there are these:

They are zinc plated steel, standard M6 x 1mm pitch and he has them in 16mm & 20mm lengths.

Then there are these, which again are very nice but the cost adds up:

Or finally, a whole selection of colours and not too expensive (not sure about postage though):

I haven't made my mind up yet what to go for - what do you reckon guys?

Cheers DOH. The only trouble with those are that they are the normal button heads that have the small 10mm heads and look wrong. They are only Zinc plated which isn't best as the first saltly water that finds it way up there will have them rusting. Also, unless you get your order over £20 then there is an £7.95 postage charge for 44p worth of screws!

For ordinary button heads for those that don't care about the head sizes, I found these are hard to beat:

Really cheap, stainless, includes postage and they actually do 12mm and 20mm lengths so if you want them exactly as original lengths you could order a mix of both sizes or just go for 16mm for all round. Hope that helps...

Does anyone know how much are the originals from Ford's?
