Hello all !!
Just finnishing off my Motor & The screws that hold my Alloy side cases on are pretty ugly . I have tried to buy new ones , but no luck. So I'm thinking maybe I can get the old ones Re Coated -Zinced ? / Gal ?
Does any one know what they are coated in ? Would you Recomend this . was it costly ?
I'm open to ideas on these screws. It seems a shame to spend endless days cleaning & scubbing the Alloy on the Motor clean ,only to stick these Ugly old screws back in .

If you're dealing with JIS thread pitches McMaster-Carr has a pretty good selection of those in the correct head type for Hondas. Cheap too! Go to www.mcmaster.com and search on JIS. They also have every other possible fastener too...
