    Need big bolts

    Hey, does anyone know a place in Auckland that is a specialist seller of bolts? I've got some crash bungs, but the bolts that come with them have a different thread to the bolts that are holding the engine to the frame at present. So I need to buy some of the correct thread size.

    Any help appreciated.

    If it's a Jap bike you may be out of luck - your crash bungs are most likely ISO,the Japs don't do ISO.Are they 10mm? They are the worst...go to a car wrecking yard,PickaPart for example,you'll find the correct bolts scattered in the mud.

    And if those don't work out, any engineering machinist worth salt would be able to manufacture some no problems at all at all.

    What area? What bike and do you need just the bolt or can you replace the nut also.
    I had the same problem after I crashed, bent my crashbung bolt and needed to replace it. Couldn't find a bolt the right thread to fit the engine mount nut it went into so just replaced the bolt AND nut with same size but more common thread (the nut slides out of a hex locator on the block).

    Any decent engineering bolt shop will sort you out - have an ask around the industrial area near you. Mine cost me $9 each.

    Cheers guys, I'll try some of those shops.

    I live in Auckland, and the bike is a CBR929.

    I pulled it apart the other day, and if I recall correctly, the bolt has to go through the frame, then some little nut thing, then in to the engine, so I'm guessing that I have to find the bolt with the right thread, as I can't change the thread in the engine part of it all...

    HDTBoy, is that Bolt Shop place in Glenfield? That sounds like the place I need to go.

    Someone else I heard of went to a machinist and got a couple made, and apparently it ended up costing nearly $40 per bolt all up...so I'm not too keen on that route.

    Yes it is in Glenfield, go up Archers Rd. It's on the left as you go up, just before Sunnybrae Rd
