points screw size

[gssuzukixxx]

Can anyone tell me the type of screws that hold the points on to the base plate? They look the same diameter as a #8 but different thread than 8-32.

Thanks

How about telling us what kind of bike?

Pretty sure they are 5mm

No, they are 4mm, but not sure of the length.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to adjust the points but the old screws are too mangled by PO.

It's a '77 GS750

PS How do I add my bikes to a permanent postscript?

Considering that it's not an American-made bike, there's a pretty good chance that it uses METRIC parts.

Unless you have buggered it up by forcing some SAE hardware in there or if you know for sure that a previous owner has done something similar, assume that everything on the bike is still METRIC.
