What kind of tool fits the plate screws?They are not slotted or phillips I have never seen this type before. Last edited by My54; 04/26/21 04:41 PM. Reason: none

If necessary clutch head drivers are still available. VCCA Member 43216 Save a life, adopt a senior shelter pet. 1938 HB Business Coupe 1953 210 Sedan

Next part was a little harder taking the two nuts off of the back of the speedometer but got it done and shipped the speedometer out for repair.

I had two that would not come out with a screwdriver the clutch head bit took the two stubborn screws out with ease.
