Author Message   Aussiexbox Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 06:22 am:        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   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 09:20 am:        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   Stevem123 Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 09:31 am:        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   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 09:53 am:        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   Michael1 Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 10:40 am:        I used a 10/32 allen head bolt at 3/8" long. Works perfect.   Aussiexbox Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 04:03 pm:        thanks Guys will chase that up today,knew I could count on the Badwebbers.   Cityxslicker Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 02:30 pm:        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   Stevem123 Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 02:57 pm:        Hey dude, half of your muffler is gone! That's some SERIOUS rock crawling! BC Steve   Chadhargis Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 03:11 pm:        Can you use self tapping screws?   Cityxslicker Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 03:22 pm:        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.   Tootal Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 05:14 pm:        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.
