Title: Frontend/Guard screws
Post by: TAYZ on January 19, 2007, 04:07:03 AM
Im shortly about to re-bolt guards and grill back onto frontend and want to use new screws.  can someone pony me in the right direction?  I cannot get any in Ballarat and when i go somewhere they take one look at them and shudder and push me out the door.  Surely a business must sell them somewhere, cheers

think rares have for 40c each, but you could always try a fastener place and get a really coarse thread stainless steel allen key head if you want it to look sexy

I tried to get a stainless version of these but the threads were too long and didn't go all the way up the shank, so the bolts rattled.
I did however go to my local hardware and picked up ZP coach bolts that fit perfectly, a quick buff on the bench grinder (polishing mop) and they look like they are chromed.
I think Ed Ho got stainless for his car, but I think there was a catch.

Hardwarehouse has the same thing Glenn (Stinky) talked about - about 10 cents each.

Cheers,

Craig.
