Watch out for non standard heads on the bolts as well, when I rebuilt my 750F1 I bought most of my bolts from Custom Fasteners, however they do not seem to have the same range of products now.
I copied this from their website.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING METRIC BOLTS.
Metric bolts in M4, M5, M6, M7 and M8 diameters are suitable for both European and Japanese motorcycles and cars.
However, M10 in the standard 1.50 pitch are only suitable as replacements on European machines. They will not fit Japanese vehicles which use their own specialised fine thread. Please see the next section in the catalogue for our specially produced range of M10 and M12 fine thread bolts for Japanese vehicles.
M10(1.25 pitch) and M12(1.25 pitch) FINE THREAD METRIC BOLTS
For use on Japanese motorcycles and cars. M10(1.25) bolts have a 17mm spanner size, M12(1.25) bolts have a l9mm spanner size. The Japanese often
use a smaller size head on their bolts, so please check there is sufficient clearance for the standard size head we supply, before ordering.
NOTES ON METRIC BOLTS
M4 fits spanner size 7mm. M4 thread pitch is 0.70mm.
M5 fits spanner size 8mm. M5 thread pitch is 0.80mm.
M6 fits spanner size 10mm. M6 thread pitch is 1.00mm.
M7 fits spanner size 11mm. M7 thread pitch is 1.00mm.
M8 fits spanner size 13mm. (Japanese M8 bolts use 12mm spanner size). M8 thread pitch is 1.25mm.
M10 fits spanner size 17mm. M10 thread pitch is 1.50mm.
Cheers

Thanks, Dennis, interesting website info!
I'm looking for some OEM bolts to replace rusty or missing ones. I thought it would be easy to order the correct bolts as listed in the parts manual by size from some well-known supplier but maybe not?
I have found suppliers of specific sets of fittings - "Engine case" for example - but I'm just looking for a few random OEM bolts
Out of curiosity, I entered some part numbers for a few bolts in the DSS part number search but they don't appear to list any of the standard bolts. I'm sure, even if they did, DSS would not be a cost effective solution for a small number of bolts/nuts/washers! :)
I'd rather not remove bolts and take them to a hardware store hoping to find a match. So what's the best process?
Nurse Julie:
If you send me over a list of the fixings you need, I'll have a look to see what we can supply from Grahams stock.
