Need some and was going to buy stainless ones at BMF. Company i spoke to could do a complete stainless 600 engine set for under £20 which i might do, but a set of 6 disc bolts was £20 :eek: My guess is they take more stress and need to be tougher but can anyone advise before i call my local stockist and get 120 bog standard SS bolts to fit for a lot less cash.
Same with caliper bolts too, apparently stainless there is fine too but would they have to be super strengthy type stuff like the discs???

Do not use stainless for anything to do with brakes as it has a tendancy to snap when heated and cooled regularly use titanium for caliper and discs. Drop me a PM with a list of what stainless bolts you need for the engine as I might be able to help.

any industrial fastener company can do all the stainless engine bolts for less than £20 - Take each one out one at a time and measure and write a list ( I have one for a 900 if you want it but there will be differences). I also used stainless on the forks and pretty much everwhere else except the brakes - this is a big no no!!
I used A4 grade stainless as it polishes well.

Or if you have a factory with an electro-plating line that corrodes the cr*p out of everything except stainless!!
