Allen or hex head bolts?

<< < (2/3) > >>

I put some shiny Allen bolts on my engine casings and I wish now I had used hex ones ... they look more original. I'll swop them at some point.

I've just purchased a complete set of stainless JIS screw set for my 400/4 from this company;

I had changed all the engine casing screws for allen head screws when I restored the K3, but didn’t like the look especially when I had gone to the trouble and expense of going through parts lists to try and put fittings as it was meant to be. All changed now for JIS screws.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Agree with what has been said  a lot is personal choice - visually water pools in the Allen Key heads is not a good look. Even stainless will often show some rust staining.

ka-ja:
it depends on grade of stainless, 316 grade does not show rust, but a lot of bolts etc on sale as stainless are made with 302 grade, and can show some rust signs.
