    Good source for stainless steel screw kits

    Looking for a complete set of SS cap screws for my BS32 carbs. I'd like to pick up all the float, top hat and banking screws but don't want to spend an arm and a leg for them. I've found a set of float and top hat screw sets for around $12 delivered but I'm still looking for the all the bolts that bind the carbs to the front and back rails. A complete BS screw kit would be nice if I could find one. Any ideas?

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

        Good for you jtgs850......nothing worse than rebuilding a set of carbs and making them all spiffy (like I did) only to have the crummy fasteners I reused flash rust in no time flat.
        Live and learn. I won't do that crap again.
        Nice list gatekeeper. Thx.

          Just make sure you put a little dab of anti-sieze on the treads. Stainless is famous for removing threads after they've been in there a while. Other opinions may vary

            I have a list for each and every nut bolt screw in SS for the 1983 GS750E, I took note of each and everyone that I replaced on my bike, I have it as a Excel spreadsheet and in PDF form...

              Thanks for the info. on the size of the screws. That will help a ton. Any opinions on cap v/s button head screws? I'm kind of leaning toward the button heads. Here's what I'm looking at:


              or these


              I did find these as well:


              Any opinions on which would work better? They're all 316 SS marine screws but the last set has the washers that are captured with the screw. I figure less chance of loosing them but I haven't seen them in an allen head format.

              The best deals are in packs of 50 or 100 so I may be offering a few sets for sale.

                I tend to stay clear of button heads unless they are 'on show' as the hex is smaller for the bolt size and more prone to stripping out.
