looking for saddle screw

[laba]

Hi everybody, this is my first message in the forum, so I want to introduce myself.
I'm Ennio, a 30 years old engineer from a Northern Italy city. I've just felt in love with a "blonde" Baghira, lent by a friend of mine for driving license's exam.
I had to change the old battery, but when i mounted the saddle i couldn't find one of the side screws.
So now I'm using the motorbike only with the rear and right screw.
I looked fot it in several shops here, event in the one where my friend bought the Baghira, but the haven't any, because they say MZ is almost "closed".
So, if there is anybody there taht could send me a couple of screws, I'd be very happy for this "almost Christmas" gift. Obviously I'll pay what have to be paid

Forgive me for my poor english, and have a good end of the year!

i think the screw you are looking for is most often used to hold the engine covers on some airplanes
i forgot the name ... it is a push in and twist to lock

Hi everybody..
thanks a lot for the suggestions: I know the name in Italian of that screw, but I didn't know how to say in english.
Now that I know it's used also inthe airplane world I'll try asking to a small airport close to my house: I usually am a bloodhound when I have to solve a problem

give graham a ring, im sure he would post you one over for a small fee, id get a couple if i were you as they seem to fall out pretty easily what with that big thumper working its magic.

I found that if you give the washer and screw head a coat in the clear "mastic" type sealer you use in bathrooms etc. or instant gasket, It stops them undoing and easy to undo if you need to. Mines been in for 5 months, used everyday and is still there!

Great suggetion! But my friend preferred use the original screw so.. in the end I bought 3 of them from Graham, and today I paid only 5€, shipping included!
Thaks a lot for your help, without you I think I wouldn't find so easily the original parts!
