  2. Theyre not rivets. Theyre small allen button heads and rubber top hat nuts if memory serves.

  4. Well nuts.
     
  5. The other Allen’s do not look original. An original one (1!) is over a £5 iirc and won’t match. Better on eBay and buy a full set for c£10-£12 and at least they will match. Or replace all with new oe ones if originality is important on this bike.

  6. They are 4mm stainless button head Allen screws with nylon washer and stainless nut behind fairing...so probably not original, I'll just get some like for like replacements off the bay, not too fussed about bean - counting originality, more keen on what its like to ride:D...thanks for all input.

  7. The issue with Allens this small is that they get round very easily, and are useless after that. I guess that’s why they used torx instead, originally. Same as the windscreen nuts.
