[Roadsters] screw thread size for hitachi carbs

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

To the best of my knowledge, they are not unobtanium.  I believe both Dean 
and Dann have the screws, but only with slotted heads, not the original pan 
heads with both a slot and a Phillips recess.  I'm pretty sure the ones I 
bought were from one of those two.
