Are the kit provided screws for attaching the headlight bucket to the body sufficient? Or do people use nuts and bolts instead?

I used screws and nuts, maybe a little overkill but I feel better about it.

Build Thread
Silicone glue the bucket to the body, drill and attach with four (4) 3/16" rivets, then use the 4 kit-supplied screws to hold it. Belt and suspenders approach. Can't be too careful.
Built an early MkIII years ago, sold years ago.
Got Corvettes out of my system, and now back after 18 years to build a MkIV.
