Hi Guys

some clown has rounded off all the phillips screw heads that hold on the base plate, so it looks like a drill the screw heads off job
can you get replacement screws or allen bolts or does any know what thread size thay are?
what size plug socket do I need?
Many thanks
Donk

You can get at the front plugs if you take the top bolt of the rad and push it forward a bit. its a pain but can be done.

as the bike came with no tool kit, i.e plug spanner what size of plug socket do you use, so far all the ones I have and have tried seem a bit tight in the well of the head

Not quite,
this is the easiest option without having to remove the radiator buddy.
if you use a normal 13deep socket youll need a magnet on a stick to pop out the plugs.

13mm socket is for nc30 plugs pornodog..
I would say 24 plugs are a more normal socket size?
