Fairing screws

[wayno]

I'm going to be ordering some flanged head stainless screws (same as the fairing screws) this week. If anyone wants any let me know, the larger the quantity the lower, the unit cost so it makes it cheaper for me :)

I'm getting a few different sizes so if you do want any let me know the thread size and length.

Are these the official Aprilia fairing screws or the close equivalents you can buy on eBay, such as these:

I've just bought a selection of M4 and M5 button head flanged S/S screws so I'll pass. Always good to have some spares.

[wayno]

No they're not official aprilia ones, they are the same as the ones off ebay, but I'm getting them from a local fastener dealer, instead of £2 for a pack of 4 they're about 25 pence each and I will be buying a few of each size.

The more you buy the lower the cost is so for example if I bought 50 of a certain size they would drop to 10p each.

Sounds like a plan to me, Wayno. Buying a box of 100 brings the unit price down to super-cheap levels. These are the stainless items, I presume?

[wayno]

Yeah. I won't be buying a box of 100 though as they're not all the same sizes

This has the makings of a forum purchase, I think. If we can figure out what a fastener list for all the fairing bolts is (i.e. thread size x length x number required) then we could (if there was sufficient interest) order in bulk, make up sets and sell them at cost plus postage.

Is that the beginning of a plan?

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll go through the fiches and get a list of part numbers and form a cross reference table.

[wayno]

Been through the fiches and have come up with the following list (may have missed some, but just a quick look)

AP8152339 * 14
AP8152298 * 10
AP8152302 * 4
AP8152338 * 4
AP8152277 * 3
AP8152246 * 17

Based on buying one set of these the total cost would be about £15 plus carriage

Based on buying 2 sets the cost per set would be £11 plus carriage.

When I get the roof back on the garage and the bike back from ym mates I'll go round and do a proper check to get an exact number .

Obviously not everyone will want a full set but if anyone is interested (or just interested in some individual sizes) you can see how much the cost comes down per extra set.

Think I'd be interested in a set.
Tiny little fasteners just love to run away with the Chaos Pixies

I'll probably be in for a set.

Just got a price for more sets, buying 4 sera would be about 8 quid a set, buying 8 sets would drop it to about £6.40 a set, all plus postage.

As I said I need to do a confirmed count up and measure of screws, as this is all based on the above list.

Anyone else interested in a group buy? I can get a price for other stainless screws at the same time if anyone has other needs.

[Kwackerz]

If it helps get the price down then put me down for a set.
Not for use on the mille, they'd be used on other stuff but I might as well buy a 'selection box' / falco set at the same time as you guys

Rough guesstimate on postage? Ah in fact you wont have a weight for them yet.. shouldn't cost the earth I suppose

[GregD-UK]

Hi all,

Count me in for a set

[Aladinsaneuk]

Put me down for a set as well

[D-Rider]

Yeah OK - I'm in - always useful.
