Bolt Kits for Small SOHC4s
« on: March 16, 2011, 11:55:42 AM »
I've found bolt kits for CB550 and larger, but none for the small fours like the CB400F.

I also can't seem to find cheap (read CHEAP) individual M10-1.25 x 30 and M10-1.5x75 socket head bolts in black for headlight and lower engine mount.

Any ideas where to look?

Not sure on the 'coarse' thread 1.25x30mm bolt, but for the larger ones, McMaster has a bag of 10 for $7.17... http://www.mcmaster.com/#about-metric-socket-head-cap-screws/=bgmebe

Go to your local specialty fastener shop.  You'll get a decent price (sometimes better) than the assembled kits and you can get a full set.  Most pre-assembled kits only include the covers, not the case bolts so you're left with some nice shiny bolts next to the old ones that don't look that good even if you polish them.

just bought a stainless bolt kit from these guys through their e-bay store, Alloyboltz.com, their web site is a bottomless pit of stuff.

I would check their ebay store or just e-mail them and ask they seem very accommodating and the bolt kit is packed and marked very well, the price pretty reasonable, I think it was 31.00 with shipping for 48 pcs

just went and looked at the site there is a cb 400 kit on the front page for 51.00. I would go to the ebay story and inquire, they might sell it cheaper, as I said the one for the 550 was 31 with shipping

Raef I tried AlloyBoltz so we'll see what they come back with. I don't want polished, but I want a few extras, so hopefully they can get the price down to that $31 you suggested.

They can sell the kit for $34.50. Not bad. I might be able to find it cheaper if I can find someone with a Fastenal account...

I have found stainless on line cheap in the past but you had to buy boxes, I have never found fastenall cheap on anything. We joke at work that fastenall has anything you want or need, tomorrow, because it seems they never have what your after at the one you stop at.
