C8 info needed
      #2578825 - 08/13/08 12:27 PM

Howdy all

I posted this over in the SS forum and it suggested that I post over here.

I'm re-mounting my C8 on it's forks but I'm missing the screws to attach the fork arms to the OTA.
Does anyone know the correct size (thread pattern) and length of the 4 screws that I need?

thank you in advance
Jim

The mounting screws on my 1970 orange tube C-8 are # 10-24x5/8". I don't know where you could find hex head, but machine screws should be easy to find.

Thank you Jim

I went back to the fastener shop and this time around we found the screws that fit.
YES they are #10-24x5/8"

sorry about posting "hex head screws" I meant allan head. DUH!!
