Sorry to have to ask - but I've looked in all the places I can think of
(Anderson & Moment / fasters.xls, and even being on the phone with Moss
motors for far too long)....

Can anyone tell me what the type of screw is for fastening the rear trim
rail (the one that is used for clipping the bottom of the top) to the body?

Thanks in advance,

Neil
