Bendix Cover Screws: Size?
A discussion came up at a Model T Tech Talk at the Piquette Plant. One guy stated the screws were 1/4-24, while another suggested they are 10-27. I'm leaning towards 10-27. We all know they're "special" of course. Anybody know for sure the size?

Neither, Jerry
they're 14-24 ASME Standard (with uncommonly small diameter heads)

14-24
(Or as the late Ralph Ricks use to say….use an M6 x1…just enough drag to keep ‘em from backing out…and built in advantage of a hex key to get that 3 o’clock one! )

Nobody asked, but I'll show how I get them started with a long screwdriver.

Re: Bendix Cover Screws: Size?
I use a screw driver that holds the screw. It has jaws on each side of the screw head.
Without that I would probably use a 6x1mm 10 mm long
