Thanks, Howard.
I have quite a menagerie in there.
The parts book calls for the hexhead screws listed above and lock washers only. Not sure where the copper washers came from. They look original but not listed. Also needed is a cap on the breather screw.
There's a bent metal piece that looks like a place for an ID tag.
As you can see, one of the longer 1-1/2" plain screws (far left) has more thread than needed, so I'll look for one that matches the other, 86 the copper, and look for a hex head breather cap. Put lock washers on all 6. The only pillar positions are the 2 rear and the middle driver's side where the leaky one is, so I'll move the breather to the rear passenger side. I know I could confirm it's the right place if I lift the cover off, gasket isn't leaking, so I don't want to cause any More trouble.
