Camshaft Cover fastners question?
Oddjob:
No problem Ted.. Still working on your arb bracket BTW, making the locking screw for the bar today. Bracket is finished and looks nice.
Another advantage of using the 8mm headed bolts is that you an torque them down, you can do it with JIS screws but it's fiddly and nowhere near as good. Plus, when removing them you get far better purchase and drive.

My 8 mm headed M6 x 20 bolts arrived today in Honda sealed packaging from Fowlers- fitted a treat - the part number appears to have been changed slightly to 96001-0602000 nice & shiney. 8) 8) 8)
DomP:
I think I'm going to order some too Ted, all my top crankcase bolts have rusted heads too.
Oddjob:
Yeah I did notice the superceded number Ted, thought it best to keep quoting the old one in case the new ones were ever so slightly different.
Do the new ones have flat tops or round tops on the bolt head? Curious.
You going to replace the rest now to match? Not that expensive to do and the look is well worth it believe me.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Nah the rest are SS hex headed bolts I have to draw a line on costs in the shifting sands that was my budget. 🤫
New bolts are smooth top slightly convex so no water traps.👍👍👍
