Do I need to buy the genuine OEM front engine mounting bolts or can I just buy the equivalent at the hardware store? M10x85 are the spec. I was even thinking of getting stainless steel, maybe from the local marine store (one of the ones I pulled out was very rusty). $3.95 for just one bolt sounds a little steep. Buying two isn't going to kill me. I was just wondering. Oh, and I already ordered a set of nylon engine mounts from James so the setup will be stiffer than stock.
TIA -Jeff |

I see that, now that I am looking at the ASTM and SAE Grade chart for steel bolts and screws. I guess the thing about SS and marine applications is its corosion resistance. I used to race on Santa Cruz 50s and there are some extreme loads on the hardware. I know very little about metals and was making an assumption. |
