    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello, friends. I have a tune up kit I'm ready to install but recently moved and can't find the only box I REALLY wanted to make sure made it. It contained all the old points and hardware. I looked on a couple different microfiche and the only description of what I need says only SCREW 09125-04001. I like to replace the wretched slotted screws of yore with newer more torque effective screws as I go through.

In summary, if anyone knows the actual size of these little guys I'd appreciate the help! I've searched this fine site and tried a few different goggle searches and no luck. So thanks for reading and cheers to the GSResources!
 
The "04" in the latter half of the part number means the threads are 4mm diameter.

Thread length is most likely 10mm, although this isn't embedded in the part number like the other screws. (For example, the shorter screws are 02112-0406B, meaning 4mm diameter X 6mm length.)

Maybe you know this, maybe you don't, but screws and bolts are normally specified based on the thread diameter, pitch, and length, not including the head of the fastener.

You could just grab some 4mm screws in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm length. For screws 8mm and smaller, you don't need to worry about different thread pitches (standard .70mm pitch is fine).
 
A little off topic but why don't you get a Dyna S ignition for it. Do away with the igniter box and points.Very easy to install.
 
Yea the Dyna S ignition was 139.00 2 years ago. When my igniter box went bad the priced "used" online was 450.00 and only found 1 for my '78 Dyna S is very reliable and simple.
