grrr last bolt on upper belt cover stripped whats oversize bit for it?
 
Normally not an issue
but this one is tight and stripped so a #4 wont work.
What works thats over sized?

I think these are called truss head.

If the #3 or #4 can't get it you'll likely need to cut a deep slot across it and tap/chisel it out.

Most times I come across parts engines any of the OE screws are toast.

I have a stash of the Harley screws for replacements, while not exact, there near enough.

Jeff I too have been saving the good old ones.
I dont remember these ever being off b4,
Is this Harley part still available?

Yes, these screws can still be had, mostly sub-dealers and epay.

ordered some stainless ones off Amazon that look about like the HD ones

I can send them back if they arent close enough
8 of them was about $10

head on the ones from Amazon are a tad smaller
will order a few HD ones to compare.
