Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Whilst having a bit of a tidy in the garage I found these. Trouble is I have forgotten what they are for - anybody recognize them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.in_Lux Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 self tapping screws? On a car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 They are self drilling screws. They have a small drill point on the end so you dont need to drill a pilot hole. I wouldn't have thought that Triumph used these in the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 They did - I keep coming across them in my garage sorting of Triumph related tubs. Used in more than one application, can't remember them all but on a Dolly and a big saloon they are used for holding the anodised ally door tread plates down amongst other things!
