According to my original parts manual they are part number CMZ0412 which
translates to Phillips head Countersunk machine screw 1/4" diameter 3/4"
long with UNF thread along with the appropriate washer, lock washer and
nut.

Subject: [Healeys] Trunk latch ???
Hi,
Still trying to improve a few things on the '58 BN4 I acquired recently.
So the car came with a new trunk w/strip, that appears to be correct. I
glued it to the lid, big hump to the outside (per moss catalog) and as
expected I need to rework the latch/strike relationship.
First, what are the correct machine screws to attach latch to lid? Head
shape, diameter, etc. The 1/4 20 bolts in there now are a real pain, can
barely get an open end wrench on the heads.
Next, I am using some putty stuck to the strike to try and dial things in,
anybody have any suggestions for the easy way to make this work? It seems
clear that I will need to make some shims, any suggestions on what thickness
to start with?
Hope I am being clear, and thanks in advance Cheers, Alan
