Stainless steel brake rotor bolts

Post by Realitybites »

While I am rebuilding my wheels I figured I would swap out the old steel rotor bolts for polished stainless. The bolts are M8 x 1.25mm x 25mm with a 16mm head. Hunting around I find most M8 x 25mm screws have a button head of 14mm. Has anyone used the stainless with the 14mm head and if so any issues? Do they torque correctly? Recommendations?

Ta muchly.

I also bought mine from him too. They're very good quality. Anything like stainless steel (softer materials) I usually take 2nm of the actual torque setting just to be on the safe side. After a month of use I go round all the disc bolts and check for tightness. :nod:

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Ordered the bolts so thanks for the link. Also sent the rear wheel away to be completely refinished since the last owner had hand painted them. sprocket hub sent for powder coating and found a matching set of locks and ignition in Germany since every lock on the bike was different.
