I'd actually checked that one out recently!

Wait...other than Birmingham Small Arms, could BSA stand for something else?

You are ignoring the bigger picture...

In the USA, the teacher might give you a gold star for doing excellent work.

Now I see!

. . . I was able to find some stainless inhex flattop screws at my local hardware store and I'm quite happy with them, although if I were to find some convex topped screws they'd look so much cooler.

I found the same screws at my local fastener store. Those screws will look even better if you buff the tops with chromium oxide compound (green) using a conventional muslin wheel.

And we've all learned to use a good anti-seize compound on stainless steel threads. Plain carbon steel screws are tough enough to loosen, as melville knows.

This took me a minute. Reading from the bottom up has its problems.

My mistake. I thought it was Brits Screwing America.

I know a guy who will be trying to help a soon-to-be widow sell her husband's Rocket 3. A 1969, not the current monstrosity. If it were a Trident I'd be interested (because yeah I need to go faster, right) but I never liked the looks of the BSAs as well. Superficial I guess. If they can't find anybody local I might volunteer to get it running for them. Sigh. Timing the twin points on my Bonneville is bad enough. His bike has 3, one per cylinder.
