Hi Gang,

In the process of replacing rear brake disks and pads, I noticed the halfshaft spacer and rear disk M10 socket head bolts were pretty beat up and rusty. I was thinking of replacing them with a high tensile stainless set of bolts but I'm having trouble trying to locate a vendor that makes them in this size and pitch (M10 with 1.0 pitch). I know ARP makes a very good quality stainless fastener but not in this size. I guess we could always use a coated bolt if all else fails. Anyone have any luck with other vendors / manufacturers?

thanks

Do remeber that stainless fatigues very quickly.I would not use stainless in wheels,brackets etc..unless they are very thick..
Use the original zink and yellow Alfa bolts...these are plated,not dipped...

I totally agree. Stainless also relax the tension in the screw a lot, so you may have screws coming loose and such. Use the std screws, they are the right bits for the job. Very critical area I would not mess with.
