    tank emblem screws

    just wondering if anyone has 2 of those tiny little screws for the emblems on the fuel tank. who say, lives in or near victoria whom i could purchase from? tried going to a few stores including canadian tire and they don't have any that are small enough or with the same thread.
    thanks guys

    mits, do you have any sort of a hardware store up there that sells screws individually? If not, send me a PM (along with your bike info so I can verify the size) and I'll get some from Ace hardware for you. It's where I got mine and they are allen heads too so it's less hassle to install.

      I got my flat head allen's from Ace hardware store. Most hardware stores should have them.

          I believe that the screws are 3 mm X 6 mm.
          You might get by with 3 mm X 7 mm screws but be careful that when tightened that they don't rupture the fuel tank.

            Do you have a Brafasco in your area?

                I went to the Fastenal site and, as usual, no store within 100 miles of me stocks the 3 mm X 6 mm screws.
                But, my local hardware store does!
                I seldom understand how Fastenal stays in business.

                There is a local store right next door to a NAPA Auto Parts store.
                I went into Fastenal looking for some metric bots.
                The idiot that was working hardly even knew that metric bolts even existed!!!
                Naturally, the NAPA store had what I was looking for which I made clear to the Fastenal employee when I left.

                And why are they in business, again?

                  Fastenal refused to sell me just three screws of what I needed - said I needed to buy a box of 50 or 100. Won't shop with them again.

                    They pulled the same crap with me on some allen headed 8m machine screws. I ended up going to a large Ace Hardware and spent a little more.

                      Ironically there is a Fastenal a mile from my house, they have a pretty big inventory of hardware on hand but they never seem to have on hand what I need so I just go to the website and order from the website.

                      For example I needed a special #8-32 screw that's only 1/4" long and it's an Allen head screw. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...l.ex?sku=24484 this particular screw is used to attach the visor lock post on one of my helmets, I tried everywhere to find the screw including the Bell Helmets website, the only place that it could be found was Fastenal.

                      The only thing I don't like about Fastenal is that in this particular case, I only needed a couple screws so I ordered a couple, 82 cents each, cool, the problem is they have set shipping rates so all together it ended up costing me like fourteen dollars, seeing as no-one else sells this screw I really had no choice.
