Re: fairing etc screws
idealy i'm looking to replace the screws with originals that have the shoulder on the shank to protect the plastics when tightened.
i've already got loads of standard screws like in the ebay list. |

Re: fairing etc screws
I know the type you need but cannot find them in stainless steel. You can use the threaded stainless ones and use a spacer tube in the rubber grommet. This is how its done on my fairing but I dont know who stocks them. need some more myself so let me know if you find either the shouldered bolt (in stainless) or the spacer tubes.

Glad it was of some help buddy. Have you got a nut and bolt maker or machine shop locally? i ask because you could always take your oem fastners to them and get ss copies made.
