I'm now on the process of building up my front bonnet. I had to use an impact driver to get the 3 sugar scoop screws out and remove the scoops to replace them. All three screws were different!. Does anyone know what size the original screws were so I can replace them? Thanks!

Note the distance pieces C1094

Thanks. So looks like 10/32 UNF 3/4 inch...

No, read the post:

The bolts are hex head 3/16" diameter but two are 1" in length and one is 3/4" in length. This is to compensate for the fact the bottom captive nut on the scoop is on the rear of the lip whilst the other two are at the front ensuring all three screws protrude equally. And if you think Angus is wrong you only have to read the parts list which details the three hex head bolts, two sizes, plain washers, spring washers and the killer punch - three nuts - which would not be needed if the bolts were inserted from the wheel well side.

Interesting....so mine were fitted completely wrong. The bolts are fitted to the scoops from the inside, and nuts in the wheel well (with spacers where needed). I guess that would make fitting a bit easier with the spacers...
