So I've tried four different size/pitch screws in the little metal cover on the back of my 60A alternator, but haven't had success getting them to screw in. Both are missing (?) so I don't have one to check against a thread pitch gauge. Anyone know what these are so I can stop that thing rattling around under there?

Are you talking about the wire connection cover? If so, I believe they are 6/32 x 1/4".
I tried a set of those and they wouldn't go. Maybe the wrong thread pitch?

This is the cover (not my picture, obviously)

I recall it being a machine screw fine thread but It has been a while since I opened one up.

Thanks Juan. That's the one, but the TM doesn't seem to call out the measurements of the screws.

If 6-32 is too small the next standard size up is 8-32. PM me a mailing address and I'll send you a couple stainless screws.
