What year is your softail....?

Per the online parts finder, the 2000+ OEM timing cover screws are:

#68042-99 - SCREW NO. 8-32 X 3/8 TORX HD.

For some reason, the parts finder shows the 2003 models having #68120-00 - SCREW NO. 8-32 X "1-2" TORX HEAD, SELF-TAPPING.

I'm not sure what that means.. maybe it's a misprint for "1/2"

In any case, they look like 8-32 screws, mostly x 3/8...

i took 1 screw with me to ace hardware and replaced the torks screws and put allen SS screws. by the way did i mention how much i hate torks? allen heads hold up much better. and i have used snap-on tools. they just seem to strip out too easy. me thinks they are made in china bolts that harley uses why does harley use allen around the primary and torks for the inspection plate? makes no sense
