Where can I buy?????
« on: 05 September 2008, 19:28 »
Hey all, where can I buy bbs rx11 split rim bolts. I sheared one when splitting them to refurb. My golf is black but not sure whether to get black/gold/silver bolts, or where to buy them.

Cheers.

You want non Feritic Stainless Socket cap screws (Allen Key).
Which you can buy from a good Engineering tool shop.
They wont cost much just take a sample to match.
Paint the heads with enamel paint what ever colour you like!
Run a tap down the screw holes to clear out old locking compound and any damaged threads use a good lock/seal compound(loctite thread seal) and torque them down to the correct setting.
you can down load Unbrako's screw torque charts or ask the guy in the shop :smiley:

Try RS or even unbrako for anodised screws, comes in loads of colours
BBS ones will be same and loads dearer.
I buy screws all the time and can get boxes of 200 M6 ss for about 20 quid.
I will have a word with my supplier at work and get some info next week :wink:
