These are apparently called JIS (Japanese industrial Standard) bolts.

These particular ones are M8 with a 10 mm head (13 is normal), I find them far better for bolting the exhaust manifolds to the heads, you can actually get a ring spanner on all of them.

These four are un-used (that's Copaslip on them) and I also have a dozen used, finish has dulled but quite usable.


free to a good home, ideally someone coming to Scotland or you pay the postage

The Japanese don't like using the number 13 anywhere, that's why they make these. They think it's bad luck.



I know.

Swap for 297.5mm of Gates Baracuda?

Make it a round 298 and we got a deal

Sounds a bit fishy to me, Mike.
If I were you I'd barricade the gates!

On a scale of 1-10, how fishy?
