    Just a quick clarification please, These are all hex(allen) head, stainless steel right?

    If so, I'd like a set also. (Engine and late carb)

      Yes. I am debating on whether to order button-heads for the carb tops, they look a little better IMO. Any opinions on those?

          I prefer the socket head cap screws but if you wanted the carb kits button-head Im ok with that. I am not interested if they are hex head bolts... cuts down on required tools needed on road side.

            Ive got the stainless button head allens on mine.......non-intrusive and look like they 'belong there', unlike the JIS afterthoughts........

              I've seen JIS posted here before. Is JIS different than regular phillips?
              Maybe that's why I can't get mine off the rack.

                  JIS = Japanese Industrial Standard

                  Google it and see the images. I suppose if we had JIS screwdrivers we wouldnt round them..?

                      There's six different 'kinds' of 'phillips' screws, only one is really a phillips.. It does make a difference, you can booger up a screw with the wrong driver pretty easily. Look here...

                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

                      I know the Posidriv screws really don't like you using a phillips driver on them...

                        Just as a clarification for my order, engine and late carb kit.

                        Don't care if it is cap or button head.

                                When replacing the engine bolts do you just go around doing one at a time without the need to actually remove anything?
