[Roadsters] screws non-ISO

[thomas walter]

  Keith,
   
  The '67.5 models (all 67 2000, 67.5 1600) used the non-ISO threads.
   
  Threads are common in FRANCE! :)  So just pop over to the local Buggati Dealer
  to pick some up. (I really wish I was kidding, but I'm not).
   
  I pretty much cleaned out the 'master rebuild carb kits' from Datsun some years 
  back to find those screws. Latter years cut the threads on my lathe (0.75) Very close to 
  34 tpi threading.   Brownells has some "uncut" screw threads that gun smiths use
  to make replacement screws.  I had lucked out in getting a set of #10 oversize that
  with the old 34 (1940's lathe, btw) thread worked out nicely.
   
  Only problem with 'hand made screws' I'd have to charge $10/screw to cover my time! :)
