Alrighty matey, I need caliper bolts for the front, but I've got Ohlins forks on so they need to be the allen headed thingies.

I've not had a chance to look at what I need yet, but I'll take your recommendations. Can you let me know the price of them posted to Melbourne 3194 (4 No.). I might be able to get them locally, but too busy to search at the mo!

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

At least you had heating. It were so cold at ours in't winter, Father had to thaw us out each morning by draining slag from't steel works blast furnace over us, an if we screamed we'd get a damn good thrashing.

Right so: Pro-Bolt price - My price

D-Rider - Titanium front disk bolts, x2 disks = 12 bolts - £87.00 £82.65 plain, or £93.00 £88.33 gold

Old Git - x4 M10x35x1.25 stainless bolts - I assume you want socket caps do you? £11.88 £11.29 for 4

Both the above +£2.99 UK postage (same as Pro-Bolt)

Falcopops - price up stainless and titanium bolts (allen head) size as above? Stainless; £11.88 £11.29, titanium; £33.36 £31.69 plain,

Down under postage =£19.99 - Standard Air Mail 'Signed For' Delivery Service. Insured to the Value of £30.

Joecrx - Go to the Pro-Bolt website as everything is listed there and is easy to find, get the part numbers of everything you want and let me know what they are and the quantities you need.

Sorry Nooj - too pricey for me - I'm afraid it'll have to be a "no" this time .... and what's more, I've just found I do have a set of standard bolts that I'd forgotten about.

Sorry you've gone to a bit of effort for me with no result.

Don't suppose you can get them in CEI (aka: cycle thread) can you?? May be interested in a bunch of stainless stuff if you can.. :smt004

I believe Pro-Bolt do a cycle range, have a look on their site and if you find what you want, buy it from me at 5% less that their price :smt001
