Yesterday a the end of my first Valve Adjustment Job (What a difference a valve job makes!) I broke one of the bolts that holds the spark plug wire harness in place. (Luckily it was not one of the ones that hold the cover in place.)

Is this bolt replaceable? If so, where can I get one?

You can probably remove the bolt with a bolt extractor but you may need grind it flat first so you can seat the extracting bit properly. Just go to a hardware store that sells metric thread bolts and find one that matches. It's probably an M5 or M6 or something.

OK, I guess I will work on it for the next valve job.
