Help i screwed up

[ranchhammer]

i went to take off my brake reservoir on my MAGICIAN 250 and i stripped out the screw i swear i didn't but that much force on it on it but then i had to drill out the old screw i put in some screws in that appeared to be the same size but now my brake reservoir lid leaks slightly even when the screws are tight what do i need to fix the dripping or find a replacement part when i screw something i screw it up good

from what i remember of the stock brake reservoir screws, they are VERY short... i would double check that you arent bottoming out the screw in the hole before its 100% snug on the lid... i got rid of my stock reservoir and went to a set of these in blue...

Did you try a small washer under the screw?....ARH

Is the o ring gasket still present ? The screws are typically a tapered head ,is that what you used ?

[ranchhammer]

have to use tapered head screws not sure washer would work

[ranchhammer]

yep matched them to the originals as closely as possible

What's a good throttle replacement and what's a link on the clutch and levers that will fit the magician
