> Anyone know where I can buy the allen head bolts that hold the rear brake > drums to the hub? The parts book says they're M8 x 10mm. I don't think the head will interfere, and they are only visible with the wheel and hubcap off, so you could use any M8 machine screw with a normal thickness of head. You might have to reduce the threaded length from whatever's available to 10mm. Sometimes you can remove them with an impact driver - the cheap 'hit with a hammer' type often comes with a kit of bits that include hex allen bits. The big Phillips bit is also fine for door hinge screws, and the 1/2" drive end can be useful with a torque wrench or T-bar when you need to put a bit more leverage on any of the bits (eg early watercooled tappets).
