750 K2 Strip & Rebuild - help please
Trigger:
Don't know why you have acorn nuts on as, they came with M6 x 10mm chrome bolts and chrome washers as per picture. Are you sure the bolts are not too long ;)

Thanks Trig… knew about the M6x12 bolts, but ‘deviated’ a little - I wasn’t aware the bolts were chromed and will now revert - appreciated!
When tightened down the cover is hard against the starter motor mounts, and consequently high of the casing, and more-so at the leading edge. It’s as tho’ the starter needs to drop a couple of mm, and roll forwards a coupe of degrees. When I get home today I’ll be taking the SC cover off and seeing if it’s simply this as otherwise I’m baffled….
Lobo:
On topic here Trig / folk, pls how can you tell when a bolt set etc is chrome versus Zinc finish? I understand the colour code XW infers chrome, but don’t see it against fasteners.

You can not tell from part numbers on bolts and washers. Some nut have a S on the end of the part number to ID as chrome.
Honda superseded loads of nuts, bolts and washers from chrome to BZP, All the chrome bolts had smooth face apart from some JIS chrome screws.
The ones that spring to mind.
Fork drain bolts
Rear brake arm bolt
kick start bolt
Rear brake pedal bolt that had 0A on the end of P/N ( i have had them in Honda packets as, BZP and Chrome :o
Chain adjuster bolt
Chain adjuster locking nut that had 0S on the end of P/N
Rear shock mounting bolts M10x32
And so on. The original general rule was a chrome bolt to a chrome part ;)
Lobo:
…good to know, and the ‘general rule’ is a big help, if not a little obvious now that I think about it! Cheers Trig.
