Well Captain its like this.
You pay your money and take your chances.

I have covered well over 250,000 miles using A2 70 grade stainless for all applications and have never had a failure yet.

Whilst I am not Rossi or Chilli I have been known to get my knee down on ocassion am not exactly a slouch.

To all others

Regarding labels yeah Rob is doing a sterling service by labelling each bolt/screw but if you cant remove a screw and match it from one out of a bag full are you sure that you can check your own tite pressures.

I really really do not have any axe to grind with Rob, he just is not in a position to be able to offer products a t a competitive price he is an Avionics Technician I am in the Engineering consumables Industry we do not buy from fastener wholesalers we buy from source.

If folks want stainless screws I will sell a complete kit for engine,bodywork and brakes in fact everything that Rob listed in his previous post for £15.00.

Or I will sell it to Rob for £17.50 and he can then re package it with labels and sell it to whoever for what ever price he likes.

The whole point of my posts is to educate the biking public that stainless fasteners are NOT EXPENSIVE they are cheaper than mild steel, and HT steel and that there is no such thing as High Tensile stainless steel.

End of rant.

Bob

Well I'll assume that stainless is up to the job then. It's just that if you go by the likes of M&P who sell "high tensile' stainless disc bolts at a fiver a shot it makes you wonder why Are they just ripping us off Or is it just that jap disc bolts are generally not a standard size bolt and they have to be specially made

I have also seen them advertised, what grade they are I do not have a clue and I bet if you were to ask them what tensile strength they were they probably would not have a clue.

However if they are A2 or A4 80 grade they could broadley be classed as HT

Ooooh. Was that aimed at me?
Harsh but probably fair.
I've got 3 pressure guages. But which one to trust? It's a tough decision for a numpty without a bag of screws of his own to play with you know.

excuse my ignorance but what's a tite and where do you check the pressure on it.

My missus is from Yorkshire and came across quite a few 'tite' folks up there not sure where to stick the pressure gauge tho'

Ah refreshing to see it wasn't us Scots getting labeled 'tite' for a change.
