Throttle shaft screw size

[Ebola]

Does anyone know what size the screws are that hold the throttle butterfly to the shaft are? I bought a rebuild kit and it came with some pan head screws and a nut to hold the other end. I would like to use the same type of screw as OEM.

 

Thanks,

Hey Evan

TB rebuild, recently rebuilt mine, what an improvement!

 

My kit was OEM, direct from Bing Corp.

I don't know what size those screws were but:

Do the supplied screws thread into the shaft and then protrude

out the back side? If so, just snug them up and file off the

excess.

Since a nut was included, I wonder if the shaft is even threaded

Won't the original screws fit?

 

Good Luck.

Mine was Dan Cata kit. The shafts were threaded and the screws had a pan head and a nut so they stuck out both ends of the shaft. I can't use the old screw because it would tear up the threads where it was stamped at the tip. I had my wife take the old screw to Granger and they gave me a bag of 100 for around $4 bucks. I still don't know what size that screw is, but if anyone needs some, drop me a line. I have a few extra.

It's an M4 at the end of the shaft and M3 at the plates.

You could have written me an email or PM

I figured I had bothered you enough already. You were more than helpful on my other questions. Thanks.
