    The screw that goes here (alternator?)

    I don't really want to order just one screw and I don't really need anything else right now. Anyone got one kicking around?

    I pulled one of mine and drove over to the local Ace Hardware; matched up with a polished allen head metric screw and bought three. They look better than the originals too.

    Ace has that size? I'll check it out. I've been getting smaller ones there.

    Forgot to mention; get the STAINLESS STEEL ones, and use anti-sieze on the threads to prevent dissimilar metal galvanic corrosion. The downside to SS is that if they break, they are a MOTHER to drill out.

    X2 at replacing them with Allen SS.

    Get 8 SS allen bolts for your ignition covers as well.

    Most TruValue Hdwe Stores have a whole aisle of Fasteners and Rubber Parts, including O-rings.

    But, the Stainless Kits you can get from Len do the whole sha-bang and costs far less than buying Stainless Fasteners ala carte'.

    Rick, you're right about the pricing, etc, but sounds like he's looking for something limited, quick & local......

    In my neck of the woods, ... It's TruValue.

    They have a complete Metric Section.
    Pull-drawers with Metric-sizes and Thread-pitches.
