Yeah thats for the later ones with long screws mine are the old ones with very short screws, i've managed to loose one and oil is leaking all over the wheel, unless the later screws are the same thread i could cut one down.

this is where a thread gauge , Zeus and micrometer become a necessity if you have removed one i would try a local fastening supplier and try and match it
if you had the previously mentioned items it would have enabled you to find it on -line

good morning,
I had a similar problem,the newer,longer screws are not threaded enough to cut down,when I found some of the right length for mine I then discovered that quite a few of the threads were stripped in the hub,this prob was compounded by there not being enough meat around the hole to retap to a larger size,there is a company on ebay that sells a avm service kit with gaskets and screws cheaply but avoid them as they are rubbish quality(the gaskets are dissolved by oil!)
I found a company in greenford who sell brand new brazilian made avm's at about £140 a pair walk in price, from all the trouble with the old ones I wish I had bought new at the start,
atb and good luck,
ryn
