Be sure to look at your new cover on the back side before you install it and make sure that it has the same groove for the oring. If not you will need to buy the gasket to replace the oring. I put a new cover on my UC and that's what I had to do. The custom derby that I installed did not have the groove- might save you some grief!

And when you're all done messing around, contact "soos" here on the forum or go to his ebay store "hundred dolla accessories" and get some passenger floorboard spacers so you never have totake the floorboard off again to get into the derby cover!

ORIGINAL: sparky_mo

The screws on the derby cover are T27 as I had removed a couple before I ran into trouble with the floor board. What about torx bolt for the floor board. What size does it take?
Screws on dreby are T27 as you mentioned. The bolt holding my floorboards on are allen, not torx. I large bolt to hold floorboard frame to bike frame.
