[FC] engine cover

[Western Canada CORSA]

I'll betcha the trailer was made in Canada!  It's less common now (because
other places in the world are now using Robertson), but I remember my
Grandfather using the presence of Roberston screws to identify antique
furniture made in Canada back in the day.  If 'ol P.L.(?) Roberston had only
sold the rights to produce his screws to Henry Ford back in the day they
might be a little more common now than they are.

They don't strip nearly as easily as Allen, Philips or Slot, and you can
walk around with them on the end of the driver and they don't fall off.

Anybody install a LM rear grill lately?  MUCH easier with Robertson screws.

Regards,
Joel

Superior because you can remove them with a phillips or straight screwdriver
when you don't have the Robertson bit. Been there done that on a travel
trailer... :) Keith Hammett -------original message--------- All this talk
about the different kind of hardware to use, and not one suggestion for S/S
Robertson Button Head Bolts.  That's "square" for you 'mericans.  Far
superior to either Philips or slotted heads.
