JIS screws? Source?

[cafepenguin]

Hello there...

So I was curious if anyone has found a good source for the old JIS screws... I'm mainly looking for some (M3 x 8 screws with a .6 thread pitch) rather than the .5 which is the new jis IOS screws...

Anyone know where to find these?

Not a clue.
But I would have to ask why?
Are you doing a 10/10 restoration?

Otherwise put some stainless allen heads on and call it a day

Thanks Habanero... I'll take a look at the site...

And Sonic... no, not doing a 10/10 restro, but the m3 x 8 screws that hold the tank badges on are a .6 thread and it will strip the thread if I don't get .6 and go with the .5 thread that is the current thread pitch... would you have any suggestions on that? because I would much rather go with the allen head

Look for FAST FRED on the honda305 forum. He has a large supply of the old JIS thread patterns in different head, bolt, lengths. I bought some from him in the past. Great guy, knows his stuff and ships very fast.
