Title: Re: Where to get allen bolts for carb Post by MotoBuddha on 05/30/11 at 11:59:40 Funny you should ask. I just ordered up a supply of stainless steel socket head screws for the carb bowl and top, plus ones for the handlebar controls and switches. I'll be putting together kits. Watch the marketplace section. |

Title: Re: Where to get allen bolts for carb Post by ksthumper on 05/31/11 at 19:39:20 I found chrome ones at home depot but I had already bought some at Ace hardware. They were on clearance so in hindsight I should have nabbed them while I could. I'd actually like to find some that are brass colored and replace all my bolts and screws with them. |

Title: Re: Where to get allen bolts for carb Post by Howitzer on 06/02/11 at 05:54:08 When you buy screws, do you bother looking for higher SAE grade screws, or do you just get the low grade hardware store stuff? I read somewhere that those hardware grade fasteners are liable to snap if you overtorque them. |

The screws to hold the carb top and float bowl in place aren't high-torque, high-stress applications. When I need replacements for critical applications (the engine and drive train, for example) I get the OEM fasteners. I only get aftermarket fasteners for non-critical applications. Since I don't know what the SAE ratings of stock fasteners are, some of my aftermarket fasteners might actually be rated higher than necessary. I rarely get them from the hardware store. I have an online sources where I can quickly search using various criteria -- size, material, finish, grade, etc. I can get oddball fasteners the hardware stores don't carry. And I can get them cheaper. The shipping costs are less than the value of the time I would spend going to the store and rummaging through their bins. But if I need a fastener right now, I'll go to the store and hope they have what I need. However, I'm still trying to find a source with a wide assortment of M10 bolts and nuts with 1.25 pitch threads instead of 1.5 pitch. |
