fasteners, or nuts and bolts, i love them, think how many are holding your bike together and how important they are, common sense that you should take a little care when choosing them, what application they are being used in and for me, that little extra finishing that shows you care about the details, i had a job in today at work where a really expensive pump was fastened to a pallet by eight stainless ten millimetre bolts, i spotted them a mile off, like a magpie, drawn to shiny things, i unbolted the work from the pallet and instead of discarding the unwanted bolts and just chucking them in the bin i dropped them in my overall pocket for later..........., just the job for the shock mounting fasteners, the shank on the bolt was too long so i cut them to length and died them down to the correct length, i dropped them in the lathe and cleaned off the a2 stainless designation, the tensile strength and manufacturing markings and them dished them for weight reduction and look's, don't know if i mentioned it but i'm tight me.........

ReplyDeletethank's for that mate, but really it's all just smoke and mirror's, if people are looking at my bike they might not realise how slow i'm going!
