yamaha girdle hardware

I have mentioned this before. I don't know what grade of stainless the ADA studs are, but they are fairly magnetic, which likely allows the strength to torque them, so keep that in mind.

Those studs take all of the loading that the cylinders normaly take and then some. I would bet that it isn't off the shelf hardware that ADA just orders and bulk and throws in a bag.

the more magnetic the more ferrous in the metal
the more they will rust

has anyone found the ada ones to rust at all

its 1.25mm
i have looked every where for a bolt thread that long as well
and cant find it

i have a good complete riva gurrdell hardware kit for sale for $40 + shipping. however, i, personally, recommend the ada kit.

 

[waxhead]

Sold i will have that

 

[sflsurfrider]

the kit does not include the 10 bolts that thread into the cylinder. only the 6 main ones that go from the head down to the case.

 

[waxhead]

ok
but it does have the system where the bolts go into the bottom of the cylinder
and then it goes down from the head into the bolts is that right
I prefer this system

 

[sflsurfrider]

yes, its the 6 male/female pieces that hold the cylinder down and then the 6 long bolts that go down through the head and thread into the pieces that hold the cylinder down..... and the 12 washers that go with them.

Yes, the ADA ones do pick up a little surface corrosion over time. Mine are about four years old and have just recently begun to get some some slight surface oxidation, but nothing that can't be polished out. No real rust (reddish color) though.

if they are 1.25 then they arent available as readily as I thought.

Ididnt have time to pull one stock stud last night to measure.

Ill get a quote on getting 120 of them made up and see what the cost is.

thats enough for 20 sets.

Anything M10 x 1.25 is hard to find. The 1.25 on M10 is a fine thread and are difficult as hell to find.

FPP uses M10 x 1.25 x 40mm bolts for the header pipe and they are NOT stainless. A beotch to find. #.0 found this: What bolts is #.0 using here?

The seller #0 found on ebay may be able to get some cut, I think he uses A2 stainless (metric equivalent to 18-2). Seller is charger440rt.

After all the headache, it might be easier if not cheaper to go with ADA, but might be worth finding out.

 

[T-bone]

check with worth, its a german company. all ADA hardware comes from germany

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

ok, kit from ADA

the studs are about $12 each.

Ive got 2 local companies generating quotes for me right now on a qty of 120.

we will see what the cost break is, but I am betting the KIT from ADA for $69 will be the winner.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

First quote is in,

$7 per stud, for stainless 303.

IM not sure thats tough enough of an alloy, but it is half the cost of the ADA stud.

$42 for 6 of them, VS $69.

its looking like ADA has a small margin, and its worth it to pay them for the engineering, and RnD they put into them.

still waiting on quote number 2.
