Titanium Bolts to replace some Hi Tensile Fasteners
Gents,
I know that are ridiculuously expensive and its not about the weight savings but I am looking to replace some of these bolts with Titanium Socket Head Bolts
Fork Leg Pinch Bolts
Front and Rear Caliper Mounts
Rear Seat Frame Mount
Handle Bar Mounts
Tope Yoke Pinch Bolts
(Would like to do the actual Calipers front and rear as well if I can do it one bolt at a time and not affect the integrity of the seal)
I have a bit of a Stainless Steel bolt replacement fetish but not happy to do the ones that are currently hi tensile bolts with Stainless
Anyone know a good place to but Titanium Bolts (Australia would be good but they weigh nothing so not a big issue if from US or Europe.
Thanks

Another question re this.
The front caliper mounting bolts are 10mm x30 mm I believe.
M10 comes in 1.25 and 1.5 pitch thread....Anybody know what they are? 1.25 I think.
Thanks
