Hey all,how is the world of Buell in the Northern hemi,got a question for the brainstormers,I have a new engraved Timing cover for the Uly,and once I drill out the rivets holding the original on,what size/type of bolts/allen screws do I use to refit and what size tap for threading the holes. Cheers from Downunder,Phil | ||

I want to say 1/4-20 thread by 1/4" long..but I'm sure someone can and will either verify or correct me  | ||

That sounds a bit large. I'm guessing #8 or #10 and since you have to tap the holes then the thread choice is yours. BC Steve | ||

Duh. Absolutely a bit large, sorry. Been out of the game (physical therapy) for a couple months, hands-on memory is shot. Sorry - go with what Steve says | ||

I used a 10/32 allen head bolt at 3/8" long. Works perfect. | ||

Going to hell, I just used hardware fasteners with a drill and tap into the metal backing plate. yes that is a FLHR turn signal biscuit  | ||

Can you use self tapping screws? | ||

It was something we fabbed up because I kept bashing in my exhaust, actually blew a hole out of it with back pressure and a high center, the stocker is back on now, and I have the touratech bash plate. | ||

The holes for the rivets are just right to run a 10-32 tap into. Use stainless allen heads or button heads. I've done this to my HD and my Buell. Looks good and works well. |
