    Coils

    Hi guys. Is it possible to buy the bolts that are used to bolt the coils to the frame, I have a set of coils that don't have any bolts in them, looked at alpha sports site and they don't list a part number for the bolts only the nut that goes on the top of them. Thanks Waynje

      Just figure out what diameter/length you need and head to hardware store or whatever place sells fasteners!

          They're just ordinary M6 bolts - you can get them at any hardware / car spares store (even Halfords, though they are made out of platinum there.....).

              Mounting the coils typically requires a spacer as well as the proper length bolt. The bolt is easy to find but you still need to deal with finding a spacer.

                  Yeah Ed that was what I was having difficulty with working out the spacer size. I then had a flash of inspiration, I have some gsx750 coils lying around so I'll take the bolts and spacers out of those. Cheers guys

                      If you didn't want to do that then you could get some hollow aluminum rods and cut out the proper length to serve as spacers.
