[Rovernet] Tool kit mystery

[Vern Inkspot]

To add even a bit more detail, there are two screw lengths & three thicknesses of spacer, 1/8. 1/4 & 3/4. From the factory I think they came with the 1/4 spacer & short screw installed, and the thin & thick spacers along with the longer screws in the tool roll. I say that because that was the most common way to find them when dismantling parts cars.

It’s covered in the maintenance manual that came with the car, almost at the back with the wheel changing & body care instructions.

Yours
Vern
