Engine dressup TB screws
So I'm going to be installing a FRPP TB soon (Already have it in hand) and I'm interested in replacing the screws that hold it to make it look a little nicer.
I think I've seen it posted that the tops ar 8mm and bottoms are 10mm.
I know on mine the tops are screws and bottoms are studs and nuts.
I was thinking if I can find the right ones some Allen head screws would be nice, also might go with black screws as I think it'd have nice contrast with the TB.
I figure if that's accurate for the heads, it tells me nothing about the threads.

For bolts, it will be best to use covers that snap into place. That way you don't compromise the quality of the bolt holding the part in place.
I don't think you'll find anything for stud/nut combos.

For other engine dress up:
I did all I could get to on mine:
Also did the Fenders, cowl covers, every one, except one at the A/C canister, lower, need a
longer bolt... I did the four rear license plate bolts too.

Well since no one had info on the specs I bought some screw and nut thread checking tools.
So for future reference in case someone sees this thread they're M6 1.0 (IE 6mm and 1.0 threads)
I bought some off belmetric.com along with some thick washers.
I plan to do this in phases.
1. just test fit to make sure I got the right length, I got 30mm though maybe I should have gotten 35mm.
2. once fitment is confirmed I plan to see able getting one set of washers (qty 4) powder coated black.
3. I'll then use the black powder coated washers when putting on the larger polished TB.
