Author Message   Andros Posted on Saturday, January 19, 2013 - 04:12 pm:        I'm looking to be replace a bunch of bolts on the bike and was wondering where you can buy single 12.9 metric hex cap socket bolts on the net?   Jdugger Posted on Saturday, January 19, 2013 - 04:39 pm:        You might try McMaster... You looking for a spare for the main drive pulley? That's the only one of those I know.   D_adams Posted on Saturday, January 19, 2013 - 04:46 pm:        http://www.nutsandbolts.com/bolts-metric-socket-ca p-screws-c-31_164.html   Andros Posted on Sunday, January 20, 2013 - 09:19 am:        Thanx guys. Just like the black bolts. I'm exchanging all the bolts for black ones for my blasphemy project except on the engine.   Trbulnt Posted on Sunday, January 20, 2013 - 05:18 pm:        Check out Pro-Bolt for all kinds of specialty hardware! http://www.pro-bolt.com/   Andros Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 03:38 am:        Pro bolt dont have 12.9 bolts.   Jdugger Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 08:24 am:        Is there a specific reason you are insisting on 12.9? Grade 8, or even grade 5 (stainless/Ti), is likely sufficient. Where are you using them?   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 08:44 am:        Andros - hows that project coming? haven't seen an update in a bit, excited about what youre doing   Andros Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 09:15 am:        Jdugger: i just like to keep black bolts all around and since the subframe and shock bolts are high tensile ones and are quite visible i will just go with 12.9.   Andros Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 09:17 am:        Hybrid: Indeed there is progress. I will post new pictures on thursday. Working on the subframe and seat and seatpan.   Jdugger Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 09:42 am:        Andros, In your situation, the question is not really one of grade, but finish. Black Oxide finish is available in several grades of bolt, and I will assure you, a Grade 8 bolt is sufficient for all aspects of the 1125r chassis. If you don't mind ordering from the United States, McMaster Carr offers what you are looking for in grade 12.9, though: http://www.mcmaster.com/#socket-head-cap-screws/=l 5a0mp I am racing a chassis using mostly Grade 5 Titanium and Stainless fasteners, and though I do take the chassis apart a couple of times a year to inspect, I have not found any bolts with stretched threads or compromises.   Andros Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 10:45 am:        Jdugger: grade 5 ti is equivalent to grade 8 stainless steel right. So you think its safe to replace the shock bolts with titanium?   Jdugger Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 12:26 pm:        Andros, Ti and SS bolts will usually be Grade 5. A grade 8 or 12.9 bolt will generally be hardened steel. I am using Ti Grade 5 bolts all over the place without issue, including on the subframe and shock linkages.
