View Full Version : Titanium anyone?
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.
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).

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.
