My original, factory, 'Frog-Eye' shop manual references the 'cheese-headed' screws on the cover plates on the shocks. Two questions:
- anyone know why they would be referred to as 'cheese-headed'?
- are they Phillips or Pozi-Drive (or some obscure style used by Druids et al)?
Thanks, Doug
 
They're called Cheese head because they're shaped as a cylinder like a country cheese, Cheddar, Double Gloucester or whatever.
Phillips have tapered sides, Posidriv are parallel. Also, Posidrive should have 4 little radial marks between the legs of the recess.
