Does anyone know the dimensions of the S2 taillight lens screw or where to buy a replacement?

Thanks....Ken

I may still have my broken lens. May have one screw left.

Thanks Steve,whatever you can turn up will be great.
Jeff, if you can find one that would also be great and I was interested in the CV40 carb rebuild kit if it's still available.
Thanks....Ken

I drilled the back of my light out years ago, and installed loooong bolts with nylock nuts and washers on the front side of the reflector. Instead of screwing INTO the reflector/backing plate, mine is now bolted THROUGH the backing plate.

Joe, I may yet have to do that to mine if I cant find an endless supply of screws.

Hey Ken, sorry I did not get back to you. Did not get around to it last night.

I've got more time tonight to pull one off.

Did mine about seven years ago.

Of course, it helps that I went to an LED taillight board (from a Ulysses) at the same time. I'll never have to get back in there again, so "harder to open" is no issue : )

OK, I took one out for exam.

2 inches long, looks like a self-taping screw that is approximately an 8-32 thread (sorry, my screw gauge is for machine screws).

That's all I have for you Ken.
