    If I wanted to replace all my carb screws...

    ...with hex/allen head screws, where would I find a set?

    I purchased them all at my local nut and bolt place, I have a list of what you need, but I have to find it....

    It is in one of my posts, just not sure, hold on, I'll see if I can find it

      Got mine at Swan Engineering in Benoni, commute may be a bit of a bitch for you though.
      Any hardware supply or engineering supply should have them, just take a sample of each with.
      Or try the guys at Z1

        The problem with buying them individually at a h/w store is the cost. They should have them, but they will be expensive. If you can find them as a kit it would be less expensive. More info from the eBay seller is required. It sounds like they may have the correct parts, but their ad is so poorly written that it is impossible to know.

          Go to a metric supply place. Everything you need will be just a few bucks.

            Thanks for posting that link.
            For the little cost of that kit, I save just about as much in gasoline and local taxes just to gather them up. Yet alone the time spent.
            I have seen kits from them before, each section that you are working on comes in its own vacuum sealed bag with a label inside that tells you where the contents go.

                This looks like a good option. Good price and just what I'm looking for.

                Free Shipping....and they are ordered.

                Thanks Adler and Daniel.

                    Even though it's late, but I found my sheet of what I purchased

                    M5X12 - 10 pcs Socket Cap

                    M5X16 - 40 pcs Socket Cap

                    M6X12 - 10 pcs Socket Cap

                    Flat washer M5 - 40 pcs

                    Lock washer M5 - 40 pcs

                    I know I have more than what is needed but wanted spares anyways, total was 21 bucks...

                        Did you guys use antiseize on these screws since they are SS? Didn't know if that mattered with the carbs.

                          I did on mine.....you are threading the SS screw into an aluminum body, so I thought it a good idea to use the antiseize
