MG TD TF 1500 - Starting Handle Attachment Clips

Can anyone tell me what size and type of screw was/is used to attach the Starting Handle clips to the tub on my TF1500.

Thank you, Dan

Philips screws were still being introduced during TF production, so yours could be slotted or Phillips. Attached a pic of my factory screws on TF9097.

Thanks Matthew. Here we go again on those little details on the TF early and late production.

Matthew,

This is great info.
In the box of odds and ends that came with my car there are six Philips heads that pretty much match your picture and since my car is of the later version, think I'll use them.

Thanks guys,

You can always swap them out if you find Thilsen's were used.

OK, you got me. Just when I thought I knew everything too.

What is a Thilsen? Google doesn't know either.
