stainlees steel race spec bolts

Hardy · Feb 4, 2010

Anyone know where I can buy race spec stainless bolts from apart from www.tastynuts.com ?
I'm after replacing the front caliper mounting bolts and have my heart set on race spec bolts:inlove but pro bolt dont supply them in the right length

I could buy the longer bolts and cut them down but am trying to find anyone else that supplies them first and I'm having no luck searching the tinternet:angry

Race spec? Stainless weighs quite a bit mate, I dont think its the preffered choice for racing. You want Titanium, but it wont be cheap!

i'm not worried about weight 'race spec' is what the bolts are called where the heads are drilled, it is purely cosmetic reasons for me. see here http://www.tastynuts.com/Products/stainless_steel_Flanged_Hex_Head_Bolts_Race_Spec

You could always just by standard s/s bolts and get them machined yourself. ProBolt etc are just one big rip off.

If you want stainless give this place a try

From what I can recall he has a mountain of stainless fastenings at reasonable prices

I got my s/s caliper bolts (radial caliper) from ProBolt@TastyNuts

P/N LSSHX1055F Stainless Steel Flanged Hex Head M10(1.25)x55mm

VERY durable - even after about a dozen removals in the last two seasons.

(Ti vs SS - pure ego IMHO!)

Not meant to be patronising - but just in case you don't know - give each thread 1 drip of light oil (e.g. 3in1) before installing and don't over-torque them (50 N m). While I'm at it - just a reminder not to over-tighten the Ohlins axle pinch bolts. The book says 12 N m - I never use more than 10 N m - and always a drip of oil (of course).
