The cylinder screw or pan head countersunk cross screw shown here was hard chrome plated at the time, which was not originally intended for shine but for preservation, one grade above galvanizing. Volkswagen removed the hard chrome bolts and nuts from the lineup in the 1980s and replaced them with galvanized ones, also changing the part number. A bad decision, the protection against rust is much less with galvanized than with hard chrome. Stainless steel would have been a much better choice. That's why we chose stainless steel, which no longer rusts and has the same shine as hard chrome plating, a win-win situation.
These M6 screws are identical to the original in size and design, and have been used on various VW models for various applications. Below is a list of all the applications and the number you would need if you used them all for this application.
