Replacement bolt..updated know what I need now

[Anonymous]

Where can I buy just one (or a small number) of a large and fairly unusual bolt. I've chewed the head of one on my bashplate and its fine at the mo but will need to be replaced before I (well...they :lol:) can get the oil filter off). Anywhere online?

Is not the kind of thing you'd get in bolt sets, its a recessed or countersunk flat head with either an allen or torx or hex.........you know funnel shape.
Whats one of them called? Don't know size off hand but as you can see falling at first hurdle here.

(I suppose this is bike talk rather than idle banter....its a bike bolt :lol: )

chewy22 sells bolts on his website.

for one offs and those hard to find Jap metric fine bolts I use Hyperbolt (http://www.hyperbolt.com/frameset.htm). they also do a few othe goodies like disc bolts, titanium etc.

i guess that its a allen headed countersunk bolt then :lol:

Won't they do it at the beemer garage?

No, its an add on. The GS12 is all hex head bolts, and the aftermarket bits you get all have allen heads so its a bit of a nuisance.

Cheers guys, I'll try these suggestions.

Ah bless!

My engineering training also helps me to confirm that this sounds like a allen headed counter sunk bolt. :wink: :)

If you can be a bit more precise on the size ( ie what size allen key you use and the bolts length ) i should be able to source them for you ( the advantage of having a full engineering workshop at your disposal )

:wink:

I had a couple of bolts to replace my rusted-to-hell chain adjusters, less than a pound. I got the impression that they're used to people coming in with unusual requests.

Thank you all. I shall make an effort to extract said bolt and get a replacement via one of these options.

Cheers :D

Its a countersunk allen head M8 x 10 (yes a short one). I could do with a couple if anyone has any or know where I can get one or two. The suggestions above dont show them.

I havent got the old one out yet either, I guess any garage should be able to extract it for me? I'm worried about the socket as its a metal lined rubber mount.

What a **** up :(

Mac would you have these?

OK My suggestion of Hyperbolt (http://www.hyperbolt.com) don't do your exact length m8*10 but they do an M8*20. About 5 strokes with a hacksaw and another 10 with a file to clean up afterwards should get them to fit.

you don't say material but stainless ones are £0.25 each, coloured Aluminium £1.00 each and titanium an expensive £4.11.

I was thinking whether I could chop a 20. Might be best plan. Cheers Tim.

BTW Screwfix do a 50 pack of plated for £2.94, probably best going to them. As I originaly said I use hyperbolt for hard to find bolts. Your requirement is not a strange thread or material etc

A quicker way of doing this is to thread a nut on the bolt before you chop it up and once it's cut, just unscrew the nut off. This should restore the thread without any filling ;)
