Assuming that's the ones that hold the air cleaner silencer in place, I just used literally two long 6mm screws on mine. I am not bothered about the bike being concours, just looking good. Function before form when out of site

You build up my hopes like that and then talk about fasteners on bikes.

Not even trying! - I just spoke to a guy in London that won a left & right Z1 switchgear for big money, the seller put full sale value on the package and the buyer copped for the VAT and the post office rip off bit . . . How much in total ?

Its not madness if he is building a bike which could sell for £25k. Not all sellers will declare a low value even if you ask which I do every time.
