Title: Replacement bolts
Post by: wildon on April 16, 2009, 01:11 PM

Ok .. i have a few items i am getting re-finished, problem is the old bolts are looking naff, so i wanted to find some new ones in a chrome finish.  I need to replace some seat clamp bolts, stem bolts and RL 401 bolts.  Anybody know of anywhere as i've been calling around places in B'Ham and nobody seems to stock anything in chrome?
I suppose i could look through ebay but i really don't know what size's they are without comparing them.
Cheers  :daumenhoch:

Thanks, but it was chrome i was after really ... and i need three sets of those for the 401's.  They are on ebay but i thought a bit pricey ... i could get them but i'm still stumped for the stem bolts etc

But ... have you three sets of those ... they do look nice?

The stainless ones are as close to chrome as you are likely to get, I'd get them and see what you think; I can almost guarantee you won't be able to tell the difference  :daumenhoch: .
