No Rust Ever – Stainless Steel
Easy Removal with 3 mm Allen Socket & Ratchet
Allen Socket Cap Head
The factory original equipment float bolt screws were common steel fasteners with Phillips clone heads that “rolled over” after several removals. If they get too bad and can’t be removed, your problems will begin. Replace them now with Stainless Steel Allen head cap screws before it is too late
_________________________________________________________
Our stainless screws are obviously not exact factory replacements. Actually they are better and can be removed and reinstalled easily. Our threads are the EXACT size metric threads as the originals and fit perfectly. Only the heads differ from the originals. Our stainless flat washers have a small outside diameter and tuck neatly under the screw head. Also included are traditional split ring lock washers for those who prefer that type.

INSTALLATION
: You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, or maybe small vise grips to remove the original screws. Then you will need a 3 mm Allen wrench or 3 mm Allen socket to install our new socket cap screws.
NOTE
: You could pay + dollars for a set of so called “speed screws” which are really just some strange looking shoulder bolts. These screws are not any faster to remove than our socket cap screws if you use a ratchet, extension and Allen socket. Our screws cost much less than speed screws, work just fine and don’t look silly.

What is
JIS
and why do I care?
Bike mechanic’s quote - “It was as if those original screws were made of kryptonite for the threads and warm butter for the tops.”
_____________________________________________________________
Did you ever wonder why the Phillips head screws holding on your carburetor float bowl, ream-out or roll over so easily even if you use a quality Phillips screwdriver? The answer is: they are not really Phillips head screws but actually JIS screws. Those initials stand for Japanese Industrial Standards (
日本工業規
格
). The screws may appear to be standard Phillips head but a closer look will reveal the JIS hole is shallower than a Phillips hole and all of the angles are different than #2 Phillips screwdriver tips. The long point of the Phillips screwdriver bottoms out in a shallow JIS screw before the teeth are properly engaged. Then when you twist the tool, you will roll over the teeth in the screw and/or the driver. To avoid this you can either purchase a JIS screwdriver or replace those screws with a set of our Allen socket head cap screws. Our stainless Allen socket cap head screws will work better and look nicer than JIS screws plus they will never rust.
