Right, got my kart chassis today (will post pics soon) and I've stripped it almost fully. I'm going to be replacing various bolts as the previous owner has put bolts with different heads on certain areas and ideally I'd like them all to match. As I'm a heavy driver and won't be needing ballast I'm going to be putting the kart on a diet (I already am on one). I'm looking at replacing 12 M8 x 25mm bolts that hold the rear axle down in place, demon tweeks wants over £15 excluding delivery on these and after having a quick look around it seems £13-£16 is the normal price. I have two questions.
Are 12 aluminium bolts in M8 thread strong enough to hold an axle on with an 85kg driver and the stress of racing?
And if so, is there any website you guys know where I can buy them cheap? (colour red preferably)
