Tiny Bits & Pieces

<< < (2/3) > >>

AshimotoK0:
One of the hard to find items is M8x1.25 BZP nuts with 12mm hex AF.
 Not sure how much they are from Honda. On the chromed M6 bolts I grind the markings off the top of a SS part bolt (cheap) and then put then in a surface grinder then polish to a chrome like finish.

Cheers .. AshD

Trigger:
Drew,  i am not sure how original you want to keep it but, on of the cheapest options is a stainless allen kit. TSS fasteners should do a full kit. Tina and Paul are very helpful. 

Lobo:
Further to Trigger's post be very specific about what you want. I spent a considerable amount of cash on a complete 'restoration' kit of fasteners for my '400 (Inox) and was extremely unhappy when a good many of the pieces were internal hex bolts (Allen key type). No mention anywhere in the sales blurb, rather many of the pics were of the standard cross-head - ie somewhat misleading.
So... if you are bothered... be warned!

Lynx:
I just buy packs of satainless stuff M5 - M12 off eBay. Very cheap and don't corrode ;).

AshimotoK0:
Cheers for the offer but I am pretty well sorted out now on bolts etc. My 750K0 being a '69 built one needs the big '8' bolts to be original in some places, and it's the first thing people look for in a resto of those bikes. DSS now imports the Yamiya no.8 bolt kits so I will be forking out out for one of those kits. A guy is selling me a load of NOS Honda bolts for my CB250 at Lotherton Hall (near Leeds) VJMC Show at the end of this month ... again this model has some big '8' bolts but I am not too fussy on that bike.

BZP is Bright Zinc Plated, sorry I should have put it in full.

Cheers ... Ash
