Points screws

(1/2) > >>

Waggles:
Anyone happen to know what size the ikkle screws that hold the points on and the 2-3 timing adjust are? Guess my P.O. got a bit hungry and chewed em a bit, they are useable, ( just ) but I would like to replace them with cheese head ones. ( I have an aversion to cross heads, dunno who thought they were a good idea, seem to be designed to chew up asap ) they don't seem to be listed on parts lists to give me the size, I can measure thread diameter but the pitch looks a bit fine to me.

Bryanj:
My geriatric parts book (matches me!) sez 93500-05012OA SCREW, flat 5x12 quantity 3 BUT i have a feeling those are the 3 that hold the assembly to the crankcases.

If its what i think you mean there is no part number all you can do is match them at a supplier, by the by I never liked allen screws in there as its too easy to overtighten and strip the threads

Waggles:
Thanks Bryan, yes they are the ones that hold the back plate, and I've replaced them. I agree re: allen heads, would only use them if I had to, I would prefer cheese heads if I can source some or the originals as they have a slot as well as cross head.

Will measure them up as best I can and see what I can come up with

62tt:
All the threaded holes in the points back-plate are M4 (M4 x 0.8 to be exact).

Waggles:
I'd better measure again then Nick, I measured a screw by eye and ruler and made it M3 X 6mm better get the vernier calipers out!
