Not always Bitsa, I have repaired several for people where electrolytic corrosion between the steel bolt and ally of the forkleg has actually "eaten" the thread in the ally :o, or bolts have rusted so badly they bring the thread out with them (bolts holding the rear caliper halves together on a 750F1 being one example!)

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Yeah in your dreams you know what I meant.Example oil bowl bolt got to be done up like the spigot on the titanic and we know what happened to that

Agreed but we all know that as the age of the bike continues the lack of maintence declines and you end up with old stuff thats going to give you problems.
