Thanks, Jack, for clarifying. Either more than one type of keepers were
used or there is a glitch in my memory. It would be very logical that with
the passage of time, more and more metal parts would be replaced with
more and more plastic parts. In fact, now that you mention it, the keepers
on my '73 may have been plastic - but I don't recall them remaining in the
scuttle. Of course they couldn't - I pried them out! Should they have?
At any rate, I hope folks take your advice before they try mine.
