1982 GS650L Oil filter cap nuts.

[Guest]

Anyone know the nuts I need for the oil filter cap studs? Mine stripped and the closest my local hardware store has is 12-24 but they are a little loose.

Yep, they're metric... any real hardware store (not Meanards, bLowes, or Home Desperate) should be able to fix you up. They don't need to be acorn nuts. I like to use nylock nuts.

However... the studs are probably what's stripped. They're made of a particularly cheap cheddar cheese/sawdust blend, and people love to yank on them way too hard, so they strip out on every single GS.

If you don't have time to order new ones from Suzuki, you can find some M6 studs at your local REAL hardware store, or at a REAL auto parts store (the grungy one with grumpy grizzled old parts slingers behind the counter, not pimply teenagers). Make sure you get them long enough. Lengths of all-thread will work, too.
