    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Help I'm stuck! I need to replace the bolts on my frontend - the ones holding the forks in the trees. And rather than buy some normal hardware store metric bolts which may be too soft/weak I'm looking for the diagrams etc which tell use what the marking on the blots mean. These #8 metric bolts have a number 7 and three (I think) slash marks on the head. FAthalifeofme I can't seem to remember where I saw this info before - cept maybe in the front cover of the Haynes manual for my truck.
Any links - resources?

I remember seeing that in my Haynes manual for my old Accord. I've got the Haynes manual for my 1150, I'll check it when I get home and post up if it's in there ~

I just went with stainless -- AFAIK that's about as hard as it gets so you can't go wrong. Plus it looks nice.
 
The number on the bolt is referring to it's torque specs. I forget exactly what it implies right now, but I can check when I get home.

Doesn't the number on the bolt actually refer to the grade of metal? You can use the grade of metal number as a rule-of-thumb for torque, though (lacking specific specs), hence that association.

All I know is that in my Suzuki shop manual it refers to those numbers and the bolt size to determine the torque if it's not listed in the tables.

So yeah, you may be correct about the grade.
