So ignore me martin...
Why risk some thing like pulley bolts....
Are the stainless bolts tested at 8000rpm for hours on end.....i doubt it...
Total waste of money.

Agree with Dingy
Wouldn't change mine either
Even the lowest grade Tensile Bolts are 8.8 and those Stainless ones won't even be Close to that.
Trouble with Stainless is it will stress Crack after time !
O.k to use it in Non Stress Applications.
Only time will Tell ???

The gears aren't a tapered fit to matter or is that wrong?

The M6 cap heads fitted to the Piper verniers are also stainless, I would be more worried about those but they don't give problems.

i dont mean to come across as being funny 
but does anyone else think they are bloody expensive? 35+VAT
i dont wanna seem like im slating the product or martin etc
but there must be a closer bolt that is "stock/off the shelf"
rather than making them
im looking at stainless bolts for my off roader wheel on the beadlock rims
and for a M12 cap head bolt 1 inch long
they are 75 pence each per 100
they are 93 pence each per 10
Cheers

PassionFord Post Whore!!
As Martin has said,
these are hand machined, so price against off the shelf bolts cant be cross referenced.
But St/St bolts at m12x30mm will be about A2 = £25, A4 £40 for a box of 100, and thats at a very good trade discount, as my firm deals alot with them.
St/st bolts are
A2= 6.6 tensil strength
A4= 7.6 tensil strength
Std cam bolts are 8.8 tensil strength off the top of my head.
And due to the load and torque used on cam pulley bolts, st/st will be fine for the job.

How much profit do you think there is in these for me? It's very little... If its less then your paying too much!!!!!Just dont think they justify the price. Compare them to the cost of the verniers that they are holding on and the work involved in making them.
Great looking product though!

I'll bet the concientious objector to your margin never goes into a high street clothes shop and refuses to buy clothes that have over 100% markup

Who gives a fuck, I'll pay it as will some many others...........
And safety doesnt bother me in the slightest, its Martins engine and I'm sure he's not going to risk a BUILD for 10.00 of profit!
Either you want them or you dont, simple really!

How can people moan at the price???
these people happily pay the likes of bailey £135 for a turbo damper that doesn't even work and probably costs less than £50 to make?
the price is the price, if you don't like it...don't buy them!
