Stainless bolts not cool enough? Get Titanium

I like the aluminum bolts... in either red or blue. But at about $2 each. I'm gonna need like 30 of them!

Thanks for links. I might actually get some of these some day.
 
I should not have looked at this thread. Just like I shouldn't have had that 3rd shot at the strip club Sat night. And I always wonder where my money goes...
 
Those alum socket heads would be good for my valve cover:cool:
They come in pretty colors too:)
The titanium is nice too:)
Thx for the link.
 
With the aluminum bolts, do you guys think that torque would be an issue? I'd be afraid of shearing one off, or snapping one.

No, aluminum bolts won't take as much torque as steel, but they'll do fine for low-stress stuff like case covers.

They come with instructions and usually a little packet of anti-seize goop.

The titanium bolts will pretty much handle the same stresses as steel, but the anti-seize goop is critical.


Here's another good source of beautiful stainless and Ti jewelry for bikes:

Most of my stainless stuff has come from McMaster-Carr: http://mcmaster.com

For stainless A2 button head M5x16mm bolt depot has metricmcc beat.. $9.24 for 100 pack or 18 cents each..

Metricmcc wants $26.03 pr 100..

I just thought the Ti and Aluminum hardware was kinda cool.. Still expensive tho :)

Still thaks for the link.. MetricMCC stocks some sizes and thread pitches I can't get from bolt depot or my local Tacoma Screw..
 
Thanks for the info, I use them for convienence, prices are generally good enough for me, It's were I got the studs for my cylinder heads, once I had the bolts out there was no way they were going back in. I'm in New York, I get my stuff the next day.

Best regards,

Toddk

p.s. The have some witworth and BS stuff for you British guys.
 
5mmx16 rightous price, shipping?

5mmx16 rightous price, shipping?

Hi,

I used the 16mm length on both sides of the carbs ,diaphragm and bowl, if you have the old models, with the connectors between carbs that sit on the diaphragm cover, you almost have to have some 16mms for the connecter locations, esp if you want to use a lock washer.
If you can get decently priced shipping on the hundred package, that is a good buy.

FORGET about bolts depot, they want more to ship than a package of one hundred costs. They dont offer to ship pp or primail, which would half the cost if not more.
