Where to find Headlight Hardware - 73 TX650

[Socopunk]

I'm an idiot and I lost the screws to hold the headlight ring and lamp onto the headlight bucket. Does anyone know where to find these parts, or what size they are and I can get them at the local hardware store?

Hi Socopunk,
there you have it, the headlight retaining screws are M5-0.8 x 5mm long.
To be nitpickingly precise:- M5-0.8 chrome plated cross-point rose head screws x 5mm long with a 90º pointed tail.
But WTF, no matter what type of head it's got any M5-0.8 will work if it's 5mm or more in length and you don't really need the pointy tail if the holes are properly lined up.
And lastly, after (but only after) the replacement screws have been purchased and are in place you will remember where you put the original screws.

They'll be something like this:

But, my favorites are the oval head screws:

Or if you're feeling very anal there are these: countersunk, stainless, socket head
Available at your local Ace Hardware.
