any info on e-bay bolt kits?

[BAN ONE]

looking into buying a bolt kit for my 86R resto. says they are stainless and there is 448 or so in the kit already bagged so you know which ones are which. anybody ever buy one of these..not really looking forward to trying to find every size and length bolt and i dont want to get a bunch of the same then cut them and have them rust. i know the kit that has 448 or so they are counting washers to but just looking for input before i go that route.

i was looking into those as well and hoped that somebody else had tried them out.

yeah kinda hate to spend the 120 bucks on it but i think would be worth it for how they look and never really had much luck painting bolts plus this one is missing some

I ordered(thru QC) one off the 3WW.org nuts and bolts guy...he's all over Ebay. I did it mostly by request of my motor builder who has used them in the past. Mind you my motor is Black, coolhead included and it really sets it off look wise. I'm getting to the rest of the machine shortly but I'm glad I spent the $. The suspension bolts are the right size but ARE NOT tempered stainless,...so they bend(I'm told by a go big Pro). No big deal, considering thats 3-4 bolts depending on the machine. It doesn't mean you couldn't use them in other situations for other needs. Looks wise and convience of having a NO rust bolt that the threads are mint, for the price I'd do it again no question.

i bought a set from the dude on ebay, fastener guy or whatever. theyll be here the 11th. ill post up pics.

[bigbadktm]

wow i haven't looked at them in a while, i didn't realize that they were that expensive. I'll wait til i do my rebuild to buy a set

[obijuan]

well i figured .30 for each fastener, mine was 407 pc. theyre stainless cap heads, nice fasteners. important ones ill rehab, but for the most part its a great deal IMO.

just got in the mail this morning, nice bolts. but included wheel nuts arent conical seat, just flat with washers.

I have used those Fastnerguy EBay kits..I love em.
Totaly worth it..The only bolts I dont use is the shock and linkage bolts..OEM only for those.

well seems to be pretty good feedback on the bolts so i think i will order some today so i can get back working on this project. thanks!

started putting things together, and the front forks screws are in the wrong bags kinda but the shank on the long two are too long. you gotta drill out the area for the shank to go deeper. fairly easy but still....

Are you going to put some anti seize on them before installing? I think I'd do it out of caution. Stainless is weird for galling when you torque them up. Perhaps that's not a problem when its going into aluminum.

[obijuan]

Yeah I do, it's also stated on the package. Just try to prevent a galvanic reaction or whatever it's called for two different metals.

I used one of those kits on my 250R. I tried using the motor mount bolts and we had to pull the motor out for some reason and alot of them stripped the thread. Just an FYI. I am using the stock motor mounts bolts as well as the stock suspencion bolts. Other than those things it's a great kit.

That's the kind of galling I've seen some of when I used stainless fasteners. Its like the stainless sticks to the stainless and peels apart when your turn them under torque, either during tightening or loosening. Perhaps the appropriate anti-seize can prevent this.
