acprc 612 Posted April 10 Hi James, If you didnt know the part number is 7684166 and its used on a few engines. I have had a quick look and they seem to be out of stock generally. I will take one of a spare engine and measure it for you. Most of these can be easily matched on Ebay. If I find a link I will post it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acprc 612 Posted April 10 As promised. Screws are M3.5 x 5mm. Plenty on Ebay if you need them and aren't bothered in them not being black, Auctions like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-Bolts-Screws-Button-Pan-Head-Steel-Zinc-Plated-M1-M2-M2-5-M3-M3-5-M4-M5/371545411026?hash=item5681d50dd2:m:mWuIqFUo7IVETOO5xo11POg If you need them black then not so many choices over original. The FS-12SS and FS-12SW were made in conjunction with O.S Engines and so I would imagine the standard OS Carb screw will also fit. These are M3.5 x 6mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Throttle-Fixing-Screws-2/152736223639?hash=item238fc9d197:g:0PcAAOSwvtFZ24h2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbostontgs 7 Posted April 10 Thank you for the measurements, I’ll try my best to find originals somewhere but silver can do until then, I’ve got the clk- dtm just about to start a build thread, I see you’ve pretty much got all of the collection, all your cars are next level well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbostontgs 7 Posted April 10 That’s incredible, and very rare! I remember when I was only a kid walking into time tunnels in letchworth and seeing them all in there if only I persuaded my parents to get a few more.. thanks for your help! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
