Manufacturer: Vincent
Model/ Series: Comet
Vincent Comet 500cc Singles Engine Covers Stainless Allen Screw Kit
Total 42 Stainless UNC Socket Capscrews & nuts. The factory original fasteners were cadmium plated slotted cheese head screws
Includes gearbox cover nuts for BURMAN gearbox"
I contacted the seller suggesting that Vincents will have British threads and fitting UNC may cause damage - This was his response:
Kit listed at request of the first buyer who is delighted with item. plus, FYI no lesser person than Glyn Johnson (VOC builder) was instrumental in developing and approving the Comet and Twins kits with us, and has reported no issues "Forcing" UNC screws into BSW holes. I suggest you contact him to check this statement if you dont believe me, and in anycase you don;t have to buy the kit. All the information necessary is contained in the listing, which I recommend people READ before they buy regardless of item (we dont bury important info in fine print). These are Allen bolts NOT cad-cheese, so owners should be alert that they are risking the scorn of their snooty peers by tampering with what God himself hath ordained.
