hi. i want to change my oil drain screw on lower leg with hex screw what size i need,, do have to put that copper washer.been looking for hour. only size i found 5´16 18 i know i read this on forum before thank mr fuji

 

Yes the copper washer needs to be used. You cannot use a hex head if the round head sits below the surface of the fork leg and the hex head won't sit below the surface. I highly doubt it is 5/16" , I would bet it's metric .

 

I just bought the chrome drain screw kit from my dealer. Two button head cap screws (chromed) and copper washers. Something like $6.99. Not a bad deal.

 

thank . i am looking for hex screw for 1 flush fit with lower. thank mrfuji

 

It is a metric thread, but I can't remember the size off hand. The copper washer is a crush washer specifically designed to be used under the head of a cap screw to create a seal. Eliminating this type screw and copper washer for a flush set screw is counter productive. Your forks won't be sealed. If the MoCo wanted a flush type set screw they would have used a tapered plug. Why ***** with it?

 

mrfuji, do folks in Quebec deliberately not learn English as a form of protest or in support of Qubec separtism?

some people must have understood, protestor or separatist, he got quite a few answers!

mrfuji,
Please don't be discouraged by the few that just want to poke fun. Feel free to ask whatever it is you need help with.

 

The copper washers are HD pn#45692-99 and the thread size of the screw is 8mm x 1.25
