    Cooley Clock Knob

    Does anyone know what size screw is needed to hold the clock knob in place?

    Thanks,

    Rich

    Tried to remove mine for assessment, but the darned thing said, "I'll strip and/or break the clock's delicate internals".
    I think the screw in question (parts fiche #19) is one of those female-threaded-sleeve jobs. Maybe Ed, David, Chuck, et al can confirm (?)

      Correct, it is #19 on the parts fiche. Unfortunately, that doesn't tell us anything. L]

      Looking at the clock shaft as well as the knob makes me think it is simply a small screw.

      Thanks for your attempt, Frank!

        Its just a real small thread. Lost one once at the bench and the ensuing panic was as real as someone holding a gun to my head. Very very slowly removed and inspected everything on the bench, swept the garage floor, and then sifted thru the trash can. Eventually a magnet sucked it up from the pile of debris that had been swept up.

        I can assure you its just NOT a good day when it goes missing. I dont know the thread and pitch, but I would suggest trying a speedo trip knob screw or maybe an old face plate screw??? trying to think what else has that kind of super small screw.......

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            I hope and pray that it is still available from Suzuki because I seriously doubt that you will just find one of these anywhere.
            I measure a 1mm thread perhaps as my mic measured 1.38mm on the threads. .30 pitch and about 5mm of thread...

                It's been a couple of years since I removed the one from my 80'. I thought I remembered it as just a small, regular screw. I don't recall it looking like the one above. Of course one of them may not be OEM.

                  These are from a '79 model that was originally purchased by a close friend of mine and only shows 13,000 miles on it so I doubt that it has ever been off except to help you.

                          Part # 34184-12D00 is the proper screw for the cooley clock knob.
