Just checked with a torch they are hex bolt heads with flange which bolt into a captive nut on a bracket inside the grill surround one on left side and one on the right?

I had the same issue. My local Indy had packs of the pozi's from Britpart (insert expletives about quality etc) for a couple of quid:
Same as here (first result on Google): http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-LL1548BP Strangely this is supposed to be a set for the grill but actually contains 8 of the pozi sized mentioned above. On my Puma grill these are only for the two side points as being discussed. I then have 4 smaller pozi's which run along the top edge. Not sure if the above helps but there you go  |
