Stainless steel fasteners

As the rebuild continues, I reckon I am better off replacing the
shagged thirty year old fasteners with nice new stainless steel
ones. Does anyone have a preferred supplier of fasteners who won't rip
me off for small quantities?

 

Presumably Champ has (so long as he gets Wendy on the line):

I used them to replace all of the fasteners when I rebuilt my LE, they have
a very wide range and should be able to match non-velocette items.

I've used them - yes, very decent supplier.

 

heh.

Actually, I'd completely forgotten that they sell fasteners too.

My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle
To email me, neal at my domain should work.

 

These people are in Tewkesbury: http://www.tastynuts.com/. Presumably you
know about them?

And http://www.allcap.co.uk/ are quite good according to my son. He's a
mechanic at BMW (cars, unfortunately). The Web site isn't the best
though...

 

....and only a few hundred yards from me.

 

It used to be that you could get full sets of stainless fasteners for things
like SOCB550s. I don't know if that's still the case.

 

**** no, they're 3x the price of using a standard fastener shop!

 

Being a lazy cnut, I use ebay. Just search for "stainless M6"
or whatever and you're bound to find something. Beware that
the bike-specific packs are more expensive than just buying
a bulk pack of bolts. Also they tend to do a lot of packs
that are advertised as "120 items!" but turn out to be 40x
bolts, 40x washer and 40x nuts, making 2/3 of it not wanted.

Some of the ones I've used and recommend have been:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Thunderbolt-Direct
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/stainlessbolts

 

You certainly can for 400 Fours and CB750s and other more popular
SOBs. Dunno about the 550, though, but I'd be surprised if someone
didn't do them.

 

Someone does, for 175 quid:
