stainless stuff again
The first screw comparison is the current replacement ,standard truss head bolt, a large Vanagon Vendor on the west coast sells as a replacement for the OEM bolt.It is off the shelf and a 14mm head. My bolt(shown ) is 18mm. OEM is about 16.7mm. Covers up all the bad marks the old bolts leave. Spreads the clamping pressures out to a nice comfortable level(for fiberglass). Wont crack your figerglass in windy conditions or when opening the top.The 14mm screw actually cracked my top.The second comaparison is with the OEM bolt.
