Bjorn Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Button head screws/bolts are very easily available in various materials, including stainless. Its not OEM, but i think they come pretty close.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamberlin Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I could not find a separate Moto Guzzi part number for them in the diagram/breakdown documents. These must be LaFranconi assemblies. You will definitely be able to find inox hex button head replacements, but T30 TORX might be a little harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 take one to match it and go to Ace Hardware. Perhaps use a little Locktite to keep them from shaking out when you screw in the replacement. Change them all out to get uniform fastener type and finish. .

LowRyter Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 really? "Ace" is the same word in French as in English, I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pi31478 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 We don't have Ace Hardware in France, but the BHV (Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville) is will knowned... Anyway, I ordered these screws on the web, I will let you know the detailed product number if they fit perfectly (not sure regarding the color)... By the way, Ace is As in French ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 ooooh geeess, I am glad it wasn't "ass". good luck on the screws. my real point was to take the screws to a hardware store and get a match. Hope it all works out. The wife and I are planning our first visit there next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don G Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 If you want the shiny stainless fasteners a gold colour, just warm them up with a propane torch! Use pliers to hold them of course! DonG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 they'll probably turn color naturally on the exhaust tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
