Mudguard bolts
Hi guys.
Does anyone have a nice set of front mudguard fixing bolts? Can't find them on david silvers. Mine are all rusty.
Also want a set of disc bolts too for the same reason. Don't really want to pay DS price for the disc bolts.
Or part numbers I can source them from somewhere?
Thanks

Re: Mudguard bolts
Mudguard fixing bolts are on Dave Silvers site: (I've bought 4)
Incidently, they are also the same bolts that hold the side fairing panels onto the frame!
£2.34 each and then you got P&P on top of that.

Re: Mudguard bolts
Regarding your Discs - These bolts are High Tensile steel, available from Iain Sim at Bolt Base. (The same guy I got my stainless fasteners from).
As they are High Tensile, they should be ok for yer discs, but they're only available in black.
Size: M6 x 16mm thread (the Honda ones are 17mm thread length) and a pack of 20 is £2.40 with free P&P.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave Silvers prices for the individual disc bolts are not that bad I suppose, as they're genuine Honda.
And they're not so bad when compared to Pro-Bolts stainless polished and shiny Disc bolts (M6 17mm) at £4.79 EACH, not inc P&P !!

Re: Mudguard bolts
as long as the allen key heads aren't chewed up, it's easy enough to clean up the originals, I did all the bolts on this silver bike, and they were in a right state.

Re: Mudguard bolts
Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated!
I have actually cleaned them up with a wire brush in a grinder before, and they came up beautiful, but then they went rusty even faster than before as they are mild steel.
Some good prices there!

Re: Mudguard bolts
the trick is to give them a couple of light coats of clear lacquer once you've cleaned them up. well it works for me....
I used a dremel on mine, they cleaned up a treat, you can also finish them off with a metal polish, I used mothers metal polish.

Re: Mudguard bolts
I looked through parts for the storm on DS site and they weren't there. Don't know why. I just followed the link and there they are, so I have bought some from DS site. Also got the brake ones from the ebay link.

Helps if you have a fiche pic in front of you, give them the discription & then add ''as in No. 7 (or whatever) on the fiche''
Works for me.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
