Title: Stainless steel bolts
Post by: fakejimmymorgan on July 20, 2015, 05:41:43 AM
As the shed job is progressing Im finding that Im often missing bolts from a time when things were taken apart and "stored" this site has been very handy in helping me find the missing bolt sizes and I wanted to say a big Thank you to everyone that's been helping with advice along the way.

Has anyone gone down the route of replacing their bolts with all stainless? (Im hoping for allen head) so that during roadside maintenance its fewer tools required.

If you're aussie you've probably seen those "champion" blister packs at auto shops.  They've been my main source but it'd be awesome to find a complete list.  does such a thing exist? only then I could do a bulk order from Connect or Blackwoods and get all I needed.

Thanks again all.
Jimmy

I fully endorse this idea.

My contribution, M6-1.00x30 carriage bolts for the gauge cluster. M8-1.25x40 for the gas tank (combine cap screws with fuel quick disconnects, I can have the tank off in less than 30 seconds).

And another, because it decided to vibrate out on the way to work...

Sprocket cover bolt 21 is M6-1.00 x 65

Judging by the part numbers, I'd assume the others to be:

22 - M6-1.00 x 50
23 - M6-1.00 x 40
