screw for cover of superpractic throttle
Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:30 am
Good morning-
I have two narrow case Ducatis- the Mach I has a complete superpractic with cover and screw. The Scrambler has a superpractic with a cover, and an in-correct screw that doesn't quite thread in all of the way- obviously wrong thread. The screw from the Mach I does successfully thread into the scrambler.
The parts manual states the screw is part number 0180.54.560 and is a 3ma x 3 ... but all 3mm screws in my hardware store are 3mm x .5 pitch, which seems too fine of a thread- as the screw from the hardware store does NOT thread into either superpractic. I think the correct screw seems to be a more-coarse thread.
Can anyone give me more information on this? I guess I COULD try to re-thread the part to accept the 3mm .5 pitch screw... but I would rather not.
SIncerely,
