Yes you can use the old screws, but if you're buying the new timer cover from Harley it comes with new screws.

Just a tip here, if you are changing the whole timing cover (I know that wasn't your question) to a new chrome one, run a tap up those timing cover holes before you try to put screws in it the first time. The chrome in the holes is a bit too thick and could cause the screw to lock up and twist off. Saw a dealer technician doing this and when I changed out my cover I found it a necessary thing.

Mine liked to come loose so I highly suggest, as nearly every threaded install on a Harley, using Loctite. Blue of course.
