There are three sizes. The most numerous is M6, with a ~10mm threaded length. There is one larger diameter one (either M7 or M8), similar length. And there are two smaller diameter ones (I think M5) that go on the under-cylinder tin. Again, similar length.
I don't recall the thread pitch, but it's the standard one in each case. The stock screws have a slot that only the biggest screwdriver I could find would fit--but maneuvering that driver in the tight quarters of the engine bay was an exercise in frustration for me. So I bought a baggie of 100 Allen-head screws of the same size. I have found them much easier to deal with, in general. The only problem is the way that the heads hold water--they're getting a little crusty, now... --DD |
