I think I have picked varnish out of hundreds, too.

Bill H. ....Thanks for the picture of the clutch screw...thanks vdubnut for the Wiki. My 19' '73 Barth has them all over the place. Apart from the unique head, they also seem to have a finer thread with a different taper. They can be coaxed out with a Robertson Head screwdriver. One of my enterprising Canadian friends made up a "tamper-proof" hasp/lock kit with a "special" driver and screws (Robertson) and sold them to his cottage neighbours in Point Roberts. Lotta gall!

If anyone wants a few of these they are on clearance at a local hardware store for $0.13 each (normally $2.49) I stole 10 at that price, but there are about 30 more... I might just go grab the rest just to have them for giveaways.

Hopefully they are still on clearance after I bought 10. They might have said "waaaaait a minute!"

Oh, and they work GREAT!
