Screw head type?

[Guest NCgrandad]

Does anyone know what type of drive Honda uses for its cruciform head screws? Philips, Pozidriv, JIS, or something else?

I'd ask Honda UK but they'd just say 'ask a dealer'.

Thanks

I think they are philip head screws, been the same for years.

They are called JIS    japaneese industry standard...and they do have a different profile than do Phillips head screws...only place i have found them ( and they were out of stock ) was a model airplane shop on-line but i had a computer crash and lost the name    will have another search and see if i can find it again..Think they were around £39 a set...

cheers Lyn.

There are a couple JIS screwdriver sets on that auction site, The screwdriver I use was handed down from my Dad, so could be a JIS.

If I think the screw won't shift, I use a Japanese impact driver, that never fails. On old butchered nuts, you can shift them with a very small chisel, working on the outside edge.

We had to strip down a new Honda CB250 K0 in 1969, no wonder we had trouble shifting the screws, there were some long T handle drivers available from Honda dealers.

I assume the screwdrivers in the toolkit are JIS, although the supplied NC700 one is made of chocolate.
