I know that I'm pretty new around here, but bare with me. I'm looking to put together some tappet cover bolt kits which would include the following,

-20 Stainless Steel allen key button head bolts

-20 Rubber seals for the bolt

-20 Stainless steel washers.

I'm in the process of chasing up these parts with my supplier at the moment for my own car. I put together bolt kits for CBR250 for the fairings and screens. Now because I buy in bulk for my CBR kits it brings the price down a fair bit. I make a little money and I also sell them at a great price to CBR forum members.

To date I think i have sold about 50 or so bolt kits with no issues.

My questions are.

-Do the RB20,25 and 26 use the same bolts and the amount of them?

-How many people would be interested in kits? (more people keen, the cheaper it can become)

-What sort of price range would you guys be happy to pay for these kits? (considering that from what I have researched the rubber seals alone from nissan will set you back $30 for the 20 off them)

Here's a picture of what I had in mind.

Standard bolt compared to the original bolt.

Just an idea what it would look like fitted to the rubber seal.

A side profile and here you can see the difference in length of the bolt/shank and also the width of the shank.

I spoke to my supplier and I can't get a blot with a 7mm shank like the standard item.

The shank size on the stainless steel bolt shown is just over 8mm. That's why I would have to go with new washers/seals.

I'm looking for honest input and I will go ahead for bolts on my own car first. I know that these bolts are highly visible, but if your like me it's like the icing on the cake.

After viewing many engine bay pictures it just looks out of place with very beautiful detail/painted engine bays and crappy phillips head screws.

Looking forward to any feedback..

hehe hey studricho,

I am the dude from cbr forums who did the carbon fibre fairings recently :thumbsup: i noticed you had a skyline by the rb in your sig...

I am going to have to hit you up for some bolts for the bike soon and the car aswell.

those bolts look good. and i am pretty sure all rb's are the same. (slightly different bolt position) but i used all the bolts from my rb20 when I did my rb30det conversion using an rb26 head.

as for price i am not sure...

can never tell how much bolts are going to cost.

cheers!

I'll see what my supplier can do for us. Lol it sounds like we are talking about drugs.

I did like the carbon fairings, very nice. Yeah just PM me when your ready for the bolts.

I wouldn't be fitting stainless bolts to the alloy heads, as the reaction between the two metals causes them to gall the threads

True. You can use some anit sieze to prevent this or I may be able to get zinc plated screws.

Thanks for the parts number. Now to get some in and start chasing up what I can do...I'll keep you posted.

does anyone have the part number for the bolts that hold down the coil pack cover? and the 4 screws that hold the transistor unit onto the coil pack cover?

Good luck bruz! And when you find out, can you please tell me? I lost mine ages ago. Cable ties FTW!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
