Why they made these fine thread 8mmX1.0 is beyond me. If it was 8mmX1.25 I would have been riding today! I found the perfect high strength bolts at True Value, but they are 8mmX1.25!!

I'm meeting with the Stude tomorrow - so I could be on the road soon.

Met with Stude13 today - Really cool guy to talk to. He has a heart of gold and about as many projects as all of us!

The bummer is - the threaded rod he has is 8mmX1.25 - so now we know - some HT engines have 8X1.25 studs others have 8X1.00 threads - dang.

I'm a bit stuck right now. But Stude13 did turn me on to a local Fastenal that I didn't know was there.

Pablo- Go to fastenal.com. click on "capscrews" , you want M8 x 100 or 125 (you got me confused now) and you want them 120mm long, your studs are about 122mm long. Cut the heads off if you want but I'm using 'em as capscrews- only one set of threads to loosen. Walter F

No my studs are exactly 109mm long. They are indeed M8X1.00mm pitch.

Anyhow - Fastenal.com is deceiving. What part # did you order?

http://www.fastenal.com/catalog_pages/2008/3-227.pdf

The almost say they have them, but they really don't.

Punch in 120mm long and get this: M8-1.0 x 20mm 8.8 DIN 961 Full Thread Zinc Hex Cap Screw | Fastenal

10:1 your threads are 1.25 and mine are 1.00

Fastenal Part # (SKU) 38641. When I'm looking at the capscrew this is what is in my browser---http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=38641

Price is a whopping 35 cents--- Don't be fooled by the picture, scroll down and look at the length in the drawing 120mm. I think they have 110mm also. My catalog looks different than yours, you might have to go to the store. Walter F.

Yeah I'll just go to Fastenal tomorrow. It's really close to my work. By every indication, 38641 is a 20 mm bolt.....but I'll hope it's 120mm.

Don't think there is a 110mm, but 120mm should work fine, with a washer or two. I have some nice washers and wave washers.

Problem (soon) solved!! I went to Tacoma Screw today at lunch, and bought a full meter of M8-1.0 material in Grade 8.8 equivalent material.

I could be riding tonight.
