    Replacing Intake Boot Screws...What Size to Buy???

    So, I'm getting ready to start working on the engine. One of the things I've got are the replacement intake boots.

    I'm planning on replacing the screws on the intake boots with some nice hex-head screws.

    So, does anyone know what size hex-head screws I should buy when I go to pick them up??

    Also, I would like to replace the screws in the carb body with hex-heads. Anyone know those sizes??

    Thanks!!

    Along with the screws for the boots, you're going to need new o-rings for them, too.
    You can get both of them at a good price from fellow GSR menber Robert Barr by visiting his website: www.cycleorings.com

      I've already got the o-rings. I just need to know the size of the screws.

        Typically it helps to mention what bike you're talking about. I'll guess the thousand: For that, you need M1 screws, 16mm, 1mm thread pitch.

        For the carb bodies, not sure. Anyone else?

        You can download a printable thread guide from boltdepot.com; not sure if their guide goes down that small.
        and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

          I would use allen heads instead, they would fit better. The size for the intake manifolds would be 6mmx1.00 and about 18mm in length. The carb bodies take a smaller size, they are 4 or 5 mm as I remember, just take one out and take it with you when you go to the hardware store.
