nose cone securing fixings

Will these be ok for IVA or am I better replacing them with a bolt with plastic dome cover?







If it ain't broken, fix it anyway (just because).

I think with IVA, if there is a doubt, change it. I would go with Dome head allens.

I do like the look of the machined cup washer / countersunk hex head but will take your advice and change it to dome hex - thanks

How big is the gap between headlight and that fixing going to be?

Things tend to magically change after IVA

Change them for dome cap heads for IVA.

Used dome cap heads on my MK Indy for visible external fixings and had no issues at all.


My boot cover secured with dome heads...
