914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Got a screw loose

Posted by: blitZ Feb 18 2010, 10:08 AM

I managed to drop my points screw and it took off to parts unknown. Does anyone know the thread size so I can pick up another one? This the screw which holds down the ignition points.

Isn't it the same that holds the condenser on?

M4 or M5 I think...

The point screw from any Bosch distributor will work. Be mindful of the length. Be a shame if you locked the point plate together with a screw that's too long ............ If the screw went down inside the distributor, I suggest you remove it, as the carnage it could cause would be awesome ............................

M4 it is for future reference, found one at Lowes. I didn't drop it in the dizzy, that would suck.

Thanks
