I didn't see the black Allen socket cap screw, but you must be refering to some 
other place. Or maybe that's what you have in the M6x1 holes in the top of the 
tin. Button heads would be nice there.

Just a quibble: anodizing only works on aluminum. Your Allen heads are probably 
black oxide coated steel. They are excellent quality bolts, but they will rust 
once the oil coating wicks off them.

ALL type 3s originally came with the "handle" there, even after the rear engine 
mount was discontinued with the IRS. The handle (or actually the bolt) is still 
important to keep the fan housing in place.

Why? Got something against Orange?  ;-)
