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)
Next problem. List of required items. Went through an old engine. Put this list together…Haven’t checked it right through so may not be 100% correct. XS650E.
