panhead valve cover screws

[1951 adam]

Anyone know were I can find the OE style valve cover screws ( slotted) or the correct dimension for them? I looked for them thru colony, and they dont make them. Thanks, Adam

You could probably just get them in any hardware store.Im pretty sure thier just regular panhead style screws.

IIRC, the round head screws are the oddball H-D thread. You won't find them at a hardware store. Try Old Dude for the correct round head and allen screws used on the early Pans.

3 allen head screws on both head covers
installed at the low end of the cover.
The rest are phillips with the 3 layer "D" ring.

Adam, Are you talking about the cover on the head or the gear cover on the side of the motor? Bob L

The valve covers Bob, I will try to call old dude, but they dont show them on the home page, Thanks for the responses guys, Adam, yeah, I think they are just 10 24s, one thing I just relized tonite is that the oil pump body thread is a 1/4 20, not 1/4 24 like the case studs, I found a pump with a block off plate from a 48, I think because shes an early 51, its MORE correct? with the long boss ect...Its hard to know what went on back then at the factory, I belive what ever was around was used up
