I'm sure there was a thread on this years ago, but I cannot find any trace of it!
My Raptors nuts and bolts are a bit, how shall I put this, aged. Some so that I cannot now apply the correct tightening torque because they are so rounded.
Any recommendations for stainless steel fasteners, preferably where I can get them over-the-counter as, being a Cagiva, some of them are "strange".
Thanks in advance. _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

Jimbo,
There is a place between Bexley/Dartford called 'modern screws' that I always use.
As it's only 5 minutes away I just take the relevant screws off the bike and take them up there for a swap.
They love telling me about the stamps on the side of the screws etc that show they are good strong screws, they have a good supply and seem to know their stuff.
Let me know if you struggle to find it and need a chaperone.
Cheers

Thanks Neil, that's just the ticket. I know exactly where it is and I've passed it hundreds of time and never noticed!!
Thanks also Pete. I'll try them if no joy with "Modern Screws" _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

Don't buy from Pro Bolt, they are thieves. Make a list of what you need and go to a local fastener supplier. If you can't get em near you , I can get them from Profficient Fasteners in Hastings. _________________ Why pay someone else, do it yerself |

I have used Custom Fastners many times including a full set of stainless bolts for my current rebuild.
