Does anyone know where this screw goes? I've had this car apart for a couple months now and am finally putting it all back together, and while I labeled most every other bolt/screw that came out, I didn't on this one. It does seem to be a unique shape. I had two screws left, one I thought went to the clutch fork dust cover and the other to the tab that holds the speedometer cable in.... I had a little screw and this one. The little screw fits in both of those places but this bigger screw doesn't seem to fit either.... any ideas? Thanks.

In the driver's seat on the back part of the cushion. It keeps you from being too satisfied with the mods you already have...

I've seen that style screw in a few places. hard to say where it comes from.

I would say speedo cable but you said one does fit there

With all the helpful answers taken, I asked my grandpa. He said that specific design is called a pocket screw. You should keep it in your pocket until something falls apart or you decide you did not need it after all.

That or it holds the clutch cable bracket to the frame.
