Titanium anyone?

[Felix]

Well, after looking around for a good supplier of titanium screws, etc. I found what I was looking for I think. I did consider pro-bolts (also go by tasty-nuts) but was put off by some of the recent comments on this board. The clue, in the end, was stamped on the head of the existing ones I have on the bike: SEM Titan (http://www.sem-titan.de).

Had a look around their website and OMG! Talk about bling!

Yes, suits you sir! only 420 Euros! Still the quality is top stuff going by my bike. I only need some caliper bolts, after I rounded off the allen head.

I believe our very own Nelly also does Titanium bolts - certainly disc mounting ones and probably others....

Always worth a call or a U2U.

Now, I know your Ebay skills far outweigh my own, but on this one, Frank, I'm ahead of you.;)

Aren't those the pro-bolt ones? Not sure who makes them but they appear identical (crap).

They had a stand at the BMF show where I bought some Dzus fasteners for the 999.
Quality seems good,I'm well chuffed.

Aerotec fasteners are not the same as probolt.

They are a better quality but not the best, You need to remember Titanium comes in different grades the same as alloy.

Unfortunatly the good stuff comes at a price.

Pro Bolt stuff is made with cheese and should never be used for anything requireing the slightest hint of strength, bodywork fixings only.

[Felix]

Mike, the significant variance in quality of this stuff is certainly my experience as well. So, how do you rate Aerotek? U2U me if you prefer. I still need some bits (that require strength).

Felix,

You not considered Poggipolini? U2U'd you details.

Cheers, Neil.

I use Aerotech titanium fasteners on my race bike for calipers and spindle clamps and have had no problems to date.

I Have a number for a place that supply certified aircraft fasteners who also supply most of the formula 1 guys, I can dig it out if you like.
