Speaking of which, I lost that very screw myself last week. Anyone know
offhand the size of those screws?

What is it with screws like that? I dropped it down the hole in the dash
and it vanished forever. No amount of hunting and shaking wire bundles has
made it appear. I swear, there's no place for it to go but down, and still
it hasn't shown up. I mean, if it was a jesus clip I couldn't find, I'd
understand. But this is a fairly good size sheet metal screw!
