Would love to see before and after pictures when you find the right screws Mike  ;)

I have used the #5-40 hex head bolts from microfasteners on my #3 engines. I think they look good.
I had to shorten the bolts to secure the cylinder head cap.

If they aren't procurable Mike, someone with a lathe would be able to turn some up for you.

Hopefully they are just a click of mouse order away from being delivered to your door though. They will dress your engine up.

Hello guys,
I’m hoping someone here can help me with this little problem I have.
I’m looking for a hex head screw substitute for my PMR3 engine. I don’t like the slotted cheese head screws that it comes with. Could someone please direct me to a source for these screws?
I know there are a lot of fellow American members here that have these engines. 😀
Thanks,
Mike
