fiat in the us

Sorry to come back to this but I actually got suckered into working on one today, correcting someone else's install on a Fiat Stylo. A newish vehicle (about 3 years old) the size of a Golf/Focus.

The glove box has the following:- 3 x 5mm hex bolts, 8 x T20, 1 x pozidrive.

Steering cowl, 5 x 3mm hex head bolts (try getting them up past the three inch depth access holes, as I tighten up one, using a normal screwdriver, and remember I'm 63 next month with severe repetetive strain in my wrists with little leverage, I managed to shear the screw in half!

The cowling over the battery and under hood cowl has 3 bolts which look like Bristol spline fixings (aircraft and some VW door hinge bolts), actually a 4mm (3/16") flat driver works perfectly!

You wonder why I hate them?

We have Fiat 126P comming in next week.   My supply of left over screws should be topped up.  Happy birthday, suggetion for a gift, we have these neat little inventions over here called an electric screwdriver with interchanable tips. 

Hate them, no just have a gallon of wire before start working on one, just like those who build them.

We build our roads nice and straight because we spend way to much time swerving around the idiots on them, and if your throw in a curve we're in deep .....
