Been thinking about tarting one of the old girls up a little. Nuts n Bolts. But which?

Alu?

Stainless Steel?

Titanium?

Phillips Screw type?

Hex socket(Allen key)?

Hex Head?

Race Spec?

Not racing so I dont need them drilled. Weight isn’t really a factor so I can’t justify the expense of Titanium. Aluminium? Stainless steel?

Pro Bolt has an interesting selection. Outlets in the UK, USA, Australia, Germany, Denmark, France, South Africa.

 

aluminium, hex socket – allen key … gold, silver, red, purple, orange, grey, black, blue

 

stainless steel … hex socket – tapered head (allen key)

 

stainless steel … flanged head hex bolt

 

Titanium … race spec – drilled … flanged head hex bolt … silver, purple, gold, blue

 

aluminium … race spec – drilled … hex bolt

 

titanium banjo bolt – single … 10mm – hex socket (allen key)
