Thanks for your quick reply blumbly and vccomn. I'm keeping the mower 100% original so I am looking for the original screws with the inserts.
I have a cowl but its got a few holes with missing fins. With a spare one I can fix the original. But I am still missing the screws and inserts.

Just a question for u guys...I am getting the paint for the base custom mixed on Thursday, Was the original paint a hammertone? I don't think it is.
