Hello al does anyone know where I can get screws for the mikuni carb housing. The exterior screws are the ones i need.

Any help appreciated as ever!

IIRC, they're regular M4s of the lowest possible quality. You can buy the same crap again, pay extra for a special replacement kit from a motorcycle supplier, or just buy a box of nice stainless socket heads from wherever you normally buy your stainless socket heads.

Cheers,

go to your local branch of Screwfix, you can buy a bag of 100 M4 cap head screws for about £2.50.

That's exactly what I did when I found that the carb screws on my bike had to be drilled out (like pretty much everything else). Better still get them online from their website.

As Kit saya go for stainless - I got mine from an ebay shop called toolsand bolts (based in Swansea) also good source for various sizes of wellnuts. BML Hayley also do lots of different stainless fasteners at good prices.

I went to halford which had a box of assorted allen head screws for 6.99 which wasn't too bad as I wont need 250 just a few of each.

Thanks all for the replys.
