<VV> damper door hinge pin

[J R Read_HML]

Oh,  I should have asked...
Is it easier (quicker?) to drill a pilot hole in a flat surface or a real 
hole in a round surface?

Do what you want to do.  That's the modern way!  <GRIN>

Has put pan head (large [flat] head, without washers) - short screws in 
appropriate spot - to make up for missing tab on air door assembly. 
Sometimes you need to tweak the sheet metal a tad.
