I am searching for two replacement screws for the starter on my 2014 HD Ultra Limited (circled in image below). I stripped them out during removal and they are no longer useable. I cannot find replacements and was hoping someone can tell me what size they are and where I could purchase replacements. Thanks.
Any auto electric rebuilding shop can help. Nippondenso starters are used in a wide variety of applications. If you're nice I'd be willing to bet that you will get them at no cost.
Any good hardware store should have a screw and nut sizing board in their fastener department. If you can't find one, start trying to thread various sized nuts onto the screw to ascertain the screw diameter and thread pitch, SAE or metric. Replace the Phillips head screws with Hex head bolts, Socket or Torx heads.
Those screws attach to and secure the brush plate under that cover. If the brush plate is not securely attached and grounded to the cover, the starter can fail.
So, good threads on the screw AND brush plate are important for a good connection.
