A question - where to get small nuts and washers that are genuine Ducati in the UK on line. I have the part numbers . Have had a few drop off and some have rust , eek
You can get stainless washers and nuts in Halfords. I'm lucky in that I can get all sorts of marine quality stainless stuff from a local yacht chandlers at great prices. Try Racebolt for beautifully finished stainless nuts and bolts.
I used this place for fairing screws A2 Stainless M5 Socket Head Flange Button Screws 40 x A2 Stainless M5 16mm Socket Head Button Screw With Flange £4.85 You would pay £3 just for a single Ducati fairing screw. A company near me do chemical blacking, all 40 screws a fiver so total layout £10 still damn sight cheaper than Ducati stuff.
Have you tried Pro-Bolt? http://www.pro-bolt.com/home ? They are tad pricey but sometimes good - and you can shop by your bike model as well. I'm sure there are other companies on the inter web dooins....
I agree they are pricey. Interesting what you think about their quality as well Cupid Stunt. There must be decent alternative companies?... Anyone?...
Yes, Racebolt. I had already replaced most of my corroded stuff but ordered some of their stainless Dzus type fasteners and was seriously impressed with the quality. Not only do they look great but they work more smoothly and precisely than the oem ones too. Highly recommended
Not sure, but I think there are different grades of aluminum, bear in mind I got 40 steel screws M5x16mm for less than a fiver, to have them chemically blackened another fiver, same place has charged me a tenner to anodise two rad guards and they look real mint. So if I can find a better grade of aluminum bolt then will buy those and maybe get them anodised
Or I suppose you could just leave them Cupid, and let the buggers tarnish!..............:Muted: ... sorry, I don't know why I said that....:Facepalm:
