clutch head screws

Harbor Freight sells a drive-bit set that include 3 sizes.

Most of the reproduction parts companies sell clutch head bits/drivers.

A regular flat blade screwdriver will work, but make sure it is a tight fit in the head of the bolt/screw.

Anytime you want a modern solution that doesn't look modern and will last forever, get the button head screws/bolts from Totally Stainless. You can put the clutch head screw right beside the button head and you can barely tell the difference. Button heads are ALLEN head. They are sized very much the same as the old clutch head so its hard to see the diff.
