front turn signal lens screws are bristol spline

This is onea '73.5 car. Have I discovered some new Concours winning tidbit, or did a PO do this for some crazed reason?

They are both like that....

Cool

Phillips head screws are the factory method.

Agreed. Maybe Randy's car had a PO who was worried about lens theft? Oh wait...theft isn't possible in the West Coast's "peace and love" capitol... Must have been some other reason.
