CRANK CASE HALVES BOLTS - WHAT GRADE?

#1 PostAuthor: RGH » Tue Mar 20, 2012 1:24 pm

Split my Z1B engine cases to replace noisy clutch hub springs, snapped one 8mm (outer) and two 6mm bolts. All good I thought, as plenty spare originals in the bolt box, went to reassemble, bugger, no where near tension, only firm, snapped 8mm inside bolt- position no 1 (which was same bolt as taken out). So I better replace all with newies. What grade are these or do you guys recommend to use?

Thankz in advance.

To get the broken piece out, just had to tap lightly with centre punch, so no way was it over tightened.
