stainless fasteners

(1/3) > >>

billywingnut:
Having got my bike out for service in the hope that I can ride it again soon, I notice that the fasteners holding the cam cover are starting to rust. I have not had these zinc coated when I restored it. I 'm thinking of replacing these bolts with stainless (with copper grease).
What are your feelings on the use of stainless

Nurse Julie:
If you are going to change all your fasteners to stainless, if I send you a pre paid envelope, can I have them please. I will get them re zinced and use them. Don't just bin them for goodness sake.

billywingnut:
I'll get in touch when I have swapped them out, bear in mind i can't order stuff at the moment.  I'm only doing the cam cover as they rust each year, I never throw owt away Julie. I was really trying to get people's  opinions on using stainless.

Nurse Julie:
I have some stainless fixings on my CB550/4 Mongrel and they are fine for that. Personally, I prefer standard fixings on proper standard bikes but I think its a personal choice thing really. Why can't you order at the moment?

Bryanj:
What bike? On the 500 allen heads get in the way of some tappet caps
