Norton Screw, Self Tapping
A self tapping screw used on Norton chaincase and cover fittings, per the catalog record.
This is a self tapping screw, 06-0787, from the Norton parts catalog. Our record ties it to the inner and outer chaincase area and the hydraulic tensioner figure, and it also turns up in other catalog listings tied to a rear wheel hub cover and a brake drum cover screw. That spread of figure references tells us this is a small fastener used in more than one spot rather than a one-off, but it doesn't pin down a single precise location.

Self tapping screws like this one are used where a light-duty fastener needs to bite into thin sheet metal or a cast cover without a pre-cut thread on the other side. Given the figure titles on file, it looks like the kind of screw that holds a chaincase cover or a small drum/hub cover in place.
We only have the one catalog appearance for this part, and the different figure titles associated with it don't fully agree on where it's used. If you're matching this up to a specific cover or housing on your machine, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
