Has anyone ever bought / used thios carb Allen screw kit?

[Guest]

Have some pooched GS1100ES carb screws and thought this low-dough screw set would do the trick: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121389905439?...84.m1438.l2649

From what I can see on the actual carb the stock diaphragm cover screws and the lower bowl screws are the same length. The only difference being the lower screw uses a washer. Meanwhile, this kit shows 2 different lengths.

I wrote the seller asking if his photo was for reference only and if his screws are actually 2 different sizes. No response.

Anyone used a dress set like this before? I have Allen case bolts on many of my bikes and I love the look. Would hope this seller knows what he's doing.

That's his VM sale, he does BS also

I found his sets had a wrong length screw for the tops (due to the fiche being wrong(, called him and he sent me the right length screws for free

If you have a metric fastener supply nearby they will be a few pennies apiece.

To buy them locally in SS Allen head would be probably $50 or even more.

What about the 2 different lengths pictured in the eBay ad I posted? Any clue why they are 2 diff. lengths?

I was looking at these same listings a few days ago. Ended up just measuring my screws and ordering the SS Allen head bolts from Z1 for $.27 each + $.04 per washer. Super cheap and had to place an order anyway.

Wondered about the 2 lengths as well, the tops use 2 washers on mine - a flat and a lock washer.

I ordered several different lengths from these guys and will never need any more.. 100 pcs for 6 bucks. If you can wait 2 weeks for delivery, they are excellent quality.

I use this guy for SS screws.Not sure what shipping to the US is but within Canada it's really good.Smaller lot sizes are nice to IMHO.

Why would they cost that much? Where do you live?

I went to Fastenal and got mine including ones for the carb gang straps. Got the correct lengths as well. Cost me about $16 for everything.

There is a nut and bolt shop here that has been around for 60 years and they used to be good they are now a bunch of gougers. I bought 100 SS 6mm washers and they we $18. Small shops wonder why people are buying online. Its a Canadian city of 700K but choices are limited. Not like the US that still believe in value and customer service.
