set screws
 
I got some new billet window handle look really nice. But is uses set screws and they suck. The litle len wrench things I rounded two of them. Where can you get this things and are the many sizes?

Thanks

what did you round off an allen wrench??? if so just grind it down 3/8 or a 1/4 inch and it will be fresh and ready to go

And make sure you get the right size allen wrench, I only rounded off set screws if I don't use the right size wrench.

He may have set screws that use a flat screwdriver to tighten.If so he needs to make sure he gets new ones in an allen head and the same thread.They will tighten better and stay better,but will also probably be strong enough to break the door handles.

When going back together, put a dab of antiseize on them
