That toolbox lid screw is a poor design.
Neither the knurling nor the slot are particularly good ways of tightening them.
Result is that they often don't get fully tightened, work loose on the road, drop out and are lost.
Same can be said for the ones holding the seat cowl tbh, but there's less regular need to disturb those.
As it happens, I've just made myself a replacement which works a lot better.
Its just a first stab at it, using a cut down and modified wing-bolt in plain steel.
A proper one in stainless will follow at some stage, but not for a good while yet.
When that does happen, I'll make a batch and offer them around the club.
In the meantime, if you have trouble getting hold of a std screw you can have my old one .. just pm me your address if you want it.
