Why do bike manufacturers mainly use nuts/bolt's that use allen keys?
Where can I get new ones when they get lost? (Not at my local Bunnings!!!)

The metal is always nude.
Bert, go to the Warehouse and buy a complete set for about $6. They're crap quality but will do the trick.
If you need borrow any of the extra big ones, let me know.
Answer to first question, phillips screws round off easier !!

Maate. We have an outfit in Porirua called Coastal Fasteners. They can supply any bolt or nut you can think of for virtually any application, in any quantity you want. They constantly suprise me when I go in for things like a 5x110 ml Allen head bolt...just the one thanks. Always helpful and cheap. There must be similar over in the Hutt.
Forum whore
any bike shop will be able to supply you with allen bolts, failing that mitre10?

I got mine from my local engineering supply shop, and before that Mercer Stainless. They have all sorts. Cheap as chips too.
Answer to your first question...phuck nose.

Now that is really useful to know... I will have a talk with them and get the needed supplies I am after. I need to get my XV750 bolted together and on Trade-me.

1st ? Cheaper to make, less metal, harder to round off when assembling with production line monkeys
2nd? OOOO Know,s for your town
1st bit if advice, get a tray to put your bolts etc in when you take them off
ie, wallet in pants pocket

I think Nudemetalz hit it the nail on the head... How many allen key type bolt's have you stripped lately? (I can count a few Phillips ones!!!)

They might be able to put you onto someone closer, but they have been very friendly chaps. Apparently some of the local Harley riders have contonned onto them as well and make frequent, vibration induced visits

LOL... How did you know I keep on loosing my wallet!!!
Thanks... I will keep that in mind. Norther good tip is that if it's only a bolt, screw it back in the place where it came from even if the part it holds on is taken of... Then you only undo it and put the part back... You get what I am trying to say...

LOL... I thought Americans liked screwing things...They might be able to put you onto someone closer, but they have been very friendly chaps. Apparently some of the local Harley riders have contonned onto them as well and make frequent, vibration induced visits
Even if it's in a Phillips form..

Fark yes! and the allen keys are good in that you put anything handy on the end to get some leverage.

Schrodoco in Tory Street here in Welly CBD is quite good. That's where I buy my screws etc.
Nah worries at all !!!(Thanks again for helping with the bike..
