Exup - stainless bolt set?

[kebab19]

Hello!
Back after nearly 5 years with a 2002 silver which had stood for nearly 11 years.  Usual faults from long term storage - 7k speedo error and a fuel petcock which continues gush out petrol even in the off position 

Anyway, just managed to get the exup out without breaking off the bolts in situ  , but I was wondering:
There used to be someone on here (or the old site) who sold a replacement exup stainless steel bolt set (I know because I bought a set back around 2010).  Does he still sell them, or anyone else for that matter?
Or am I going to have to stick these rusted relics back on again once the copper grease has been slathered

Not sure if anyone does the dedicated kits any more. However a trip down to Screwfix/Toolstation should get you sorted. The exup cover takes M6 x 10 mm (3 of) the valve takes M6 x 16mm (3 of). The pulley centre is an M5 x 12 mm. The ones on the bush cover on the right hand side of the bike are M4 x 6mm.
Hope this helps.

Believe it was Ghostbiker that had the kits put together and I think I had the last one from him. Not seen him on the forum for a while but you can put yourself a kit together from the info that robbo gave.

Buy them from a chandlery - you can buy individual loose hex bolts, regular bolts, nuts, washers, dome nuts, Stainless Steel, BZP, Japanned........whatever your heart desires........& cheaper too!

Chandlers. Good idea, if there's one local. Not much call for boating stuff where I live in S.London,however plenty of Screwfix depots. Would have suggested Custom Fasteners but their p&p is ridiculous.

I could poss sort you out a full exup stainless bolt kit, got a large supply as I've been fettling 2 bikes up.

Thanks for the responses.  I took Robbo's advice and went to a local Screwfix for the parts.  Was surprised when they handed over bags of 100 parts for each bolt, only came to £7 in total although they are high tensile steel as opposed to stainless.
Oh well, have enough spares now to dispose of them every year  & install a new set until about 2050 AD 

Next job, separating the exup valve away from the bush / exhaust side plate as they appear to have congealed after nearly 16 years together...

They do stainless in Screwfix, Easyfix Socket Cap Screws M6 x 20 mm £4.89 for a bag of 50, page 53 of current catalogue, they were the ones I meant. If you haven't opened the pack you've got you can change them no problem.

I bought all of my bolts from toolstation, they are cheaper than screwfix and if you spend over £10 you get free delivery.

[robbo]

I did suggest either. Personally I use Toolstation for the same reason,they are slightly cheaper. The queue is usually smaller than Screwfix, but am fortunate that they're opposite each other and only 2 miles from home.

[kebab19]

Thanks again.
I don't think we have Toolstations in Northern Ireland, a lot more limitation regarding choices...

kebab19,
Did you try and change the ones you bought. One of their catalogues are always handy to have at home as the range of stuff they do is quite extensive and can often get you out of a jam.

I use a local nut and bolt suppliers for all my stainless nuts and bolts as I can just buy the exact amount I need, instead of buying packs that I forget I have the next time I need a bolt.

Kayfasteners are brilliant, all the nuts, bolts and washers that I have replaced on the 600 have come from them, even the stainless steel exhaust manifold studs.

FWB in Stoke, all the sizes of stainless bolts you could want, very cheap too.

Shame its so far from you.
