How do I secure the mascot to the grill
I know there is a screw somewhere, right ?

I do see a whole on the backside of the grill where a set screw or something might go but no way to access it with the hood open, or am I missing something else ?

There is a screw in the rear of the grill, open the bonnet and use an Allen key (usually in the tool kit) to remove.
I have fitted a waterproof microswitch (hood switch from a land rover Freelander) to operate the horn if someone pulls on it.

Using a flashlight,I can see the screw hole looking down into the grill, of course there is no screw in it.

Does anyone know the size and thread of said screw ??
Setting another screw in that hole looks like an impossible task .
