Argal Screws

[KiloSjon]

A little context up front: the previous owner of my Le Mans was a daily commuter and was not interested in optical work. As a result of the winter salt a lot of screws and metal parts are a bit corroded.

 

Keeping my eyes open on the web, I got to this site where they offer this screw kit

 

It looks original, but is it? (the price makes you think it is). Anyone done this?

 

And as an alternative: how to deal with (lightly) corroded screws? A little twist with the Dremel and then some grease? Any tips?

I like to peruse this site for ideas. Most any dealer can get these for you.

 

I bought these for my gas tank.

Personally I'd stay away from aluminum screws and find some stainless steel equivalents.

I would assume they fit V11's of all years. I would like to order a red set for my 2000 V11.

Have the gas tank caps changed from 2000 to 2003? If not, they fit.

Knowing Guzzi...No.

 

Looks like I'll be ordering a red set.

I was about to buy a red set, anywhere else to get them? shipping is the same price as the nuts, WTF. they weigh like 2oz not 20lbs.

[DeBenGuzzi]

may still buy them tho.

Thanks for all the ideas...

...another good reason to become MGCN member...

 

Because it doesn't come as a set, and I want to change them over a period of time, is there somewhere a list of V11 screw specs? (then I know what to order)

Sjon, short time ago, we Dutch V11 owner have had a meeting in Arnhem.

A member, Anton from Lochem, have this ergal on his Tenni.

Better if you will be in contact with him.

 

I must say, it looks good. Hoerig mooi!

Thanks Antonio for messing with my livelyhood... <_>

The thing is that I don't know which sizes to order (I also don't know which screws are covered by the Argal set).

 

BTW any follow up on the Arnhem V11 meeting? Postbank? Rondje IJsselmeer?

Thx, I sent him a PM....

 

In the meanwhile: any resources on which screws would need? (number, length, diameter etc)
