JJ Leigh Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) if its the right sizing n stuff i dont see why not cuz at the end of the day thats what it already is, but dont take my word for it Edited May 21, 2014 by JJ Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 What colour are you going for? (there is a good range already) for a fiver why not get some new ones and keep them as spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) cause £20 for 4 bolts is mental, it'll cost a few quid to get them anodised; i'm already getting stuff done so it makes sence to get these done at the same time... and if i can get cheaper steel bolts, i'll have those as spares... purple Edited May 21, 2014 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Fair call. Not got any bolts you cpuld compare them to? Ideally a thread guage and a vernier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 They aren't just 'bolts', there's a groove for a circlip, indents in the threads and obviously the head is for machined from scratch. But the thread is M6 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I think the thread pitch is deeper than standard m6 bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
