I am new here so please help me. I want to do the white spacer mod but I don't know where to get a half-sized one. Anyway I have an LS400 (the Japanese version).

You don't get a half-size white spacer. You either file/sand yours down or you replace it with comparable washers.

For those of you that replaced the screws on the carb with allen head screws (like SeeAPierce), what size screws did you need to replace the carb screws?
I am planning on doing the white spacer mod and re-jetting the main and pilot in the next month or so. Before openning the carb up, I want to have the replacement screws on so that I don't have to run to several stores because I don't always have the best luck when I head to the hardware store (they always seem to be out of whatever I need, but only what I need).

I'm sure somebody knows because this question has been asked before and the answer is in another post somewhere. However, all I did was pull one screw from the top and one from the bottom and took them with me to Ace Hardware and picked up four of each size in stainless allens.

Just to add to the post linked by
Savage_Rob
above, the thread is 5 mm and the pitch is 0.8. You'll need both of these numbers when you go to your local hardware store for the replacement screws.
The
lengths
of the screws, as indicated in the linked post above, are 10 mm and 15 mm.
Although since both of the holes that you thread the screws into are open ended (that is, they go through to the other side), you can use longer screws if necessary.
Cheers.

The part number for the K&N air filter is SU-6595, and you can order it right from their Web site.
Cheers.

Thanks Savage_Rob and Tammi. I just want to make sure that I have them in hand before starting to open the carb up. Especially since I am unlucky at find parts I need here in Lansing. I have been to Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, Autozone and Radioshack and NONE of them carry #4 washers. Hard to believe I know, but this is what I have found by going from one store to the next
So, I don't want to run into the same problem with the allen head screws.

Somewhere on here it was suggested to go to Radio Shack to get the #4 washers. I couldn't find them at any of the places you looked either. Also they said that sometimes they may scrub the sides. Just a heads up. You may want to just get an extra white spacer and file it to 1/2 since you are gonna be buying parts anyway.

I personally have my best luck with stainless hardware at Ace Hardware.
