I ordered a used set from British Car Specialists from a 100-4 engine that
underwent an oil pan conversion to an aluminum pan. I had first
considered just buying the fasteners from a British fastener supplier, but
I did not know the length of the screws, including the one for the exhaust
bracket and the center rear screw. They are not all the same length
apparently.
