Reply To: Big Twin/ Rd tiller handle restoration

[frankr]

I have replaced a few of those screw nails (I always thought they were called drive screws). But they were usually in model/serial number plates and I can’t say I’ve done any in tiller handles. It is an easy piece of cake if the holes go all thee way through. Just punch them out from the backside and you can reuse them. It gets a little tougher if you cannot access the backside. I’ve sawed a slot in the head and simply unscrewed them like a screw. Don’t know if that is practical in the tiller situation,, or what the size is. Use your imagination and try to figure an easy way to get them out. The rest is easy.

Yeah, I have the remains of a box of 100 from McMaster. I’ll give you a couple for postage if they are the correct size.
