Anyone know what p/n 508250 is in the real world? Used in Dolomite and Toledo and Herald dash assembly I think.
I think it's a self-tap with a pozi/philips pan head, but not sure on the size.
Can't find it in the Triumph hardware catalogue.
Any ideas?

On the Dolomite there are 4 that hold the "brace" section behind the steering column and on the Toledo they do the same from what I can tell

I think they are #8 self taps as they screw into p/n FU2564/8 and I am told the /8 indicates the screw size. I'll just guess the length and order some.

They are very short. probably only 1/2" or so long as they ONLY go through the millboard and into the Spire nut captive. Too long and they're BOUND to catch something they shouldn't back there!

Good point Steve. The ones I've ordered might be a bit too long! I can probably shorten them to length though.
