Hi does anyone know the size of the front brake reservoir screws.
One of mine has burred and Indian will only sell the whole cover at a cost of £92 about $115.
Very expensive screw!
Thanks

Possibly M4x0.7 because I just happen to have my master cylinder covers and original screws in a bag here, and I compared them to #8 - 32 (1/2”) screws.

Looked almost identical except I couldn’t mesh the threads together, one being nonmetric and the other metric.

If I could find my thread gauge in my cluttered mess of a shed I would have used that to check.
Easier to stop in at the hardware store when I’m out tomorrow, just don’t count on it because I tend to forget things.

All but absolutely confirmed, found the zinc plated ones at Lowe’s just before they closed tonight.
I would think anyone replacing them would want stainless steel. Lowes didn’t have that.
Notice the slightly different angle of the heads.
