I'd like to upgrade the quality of some of the fittings in the engine bay of the Chim such as the rusty fan bolts on top of the rad. I did this kind of thing with my first bike and bought a bucket of assorted stainless allen bolts , washers etc from a company called "Mr Fastener" who seem to have disappeared....anyone know of someone else who supplies this kind of stuff ???

As someone said on here a while back .. don't use stainless on the exhaust headers.. I believe they are
more brittle that plain steel..

I think

They specialise in Mini stuff but they had loads of fastenings at MITP45 recently.
