Stainless Bolt Kit

[royalt67]

Anybody who has disassembled a Blaster motor has stripped one of those stupid phillips case screw by now. Tearing down my son's motor the other day I stripped a couple, even with my impact driver! Soooo.....I just thought I'd share my new purchase. A sweet, custom polished, stainless steel, socket head, engine bolt kit from a little company called stainlesscycle.com.

I bought em on ebay, $24 bucks shipped for every bolt on the engine. Cases, covers, reed block, exhaust, all separately packaged. They grind the knurls off each one and then hand polish them. Very nice. YAMAHA BLASTER YFS200 STAINLESS BOLT SET - eBay (item 370467270769 end time Dec-23-10 08:57:49 PST)

Sorry about the crappy color of my pic, the flash didn't work.

This ends the commercial part of our program.....

very similar to the SMS kit i got for mine, its a great (and great looking) investment

remember to use anti sieze on them.

Nice kit. Looks like a great price too.

remember to use anti sieze on them.

LOL. That is important enough to mention again! They even print on the invoice, "We highly recommend using anti-seize!"

And yeah, stabor, I thought it was a good price too. I dont' believe the SMS kit is polished (Brando?) and I'm positive it costs more. Just putting in a plug for the little guy. I enjoy a good product at a good price.

ya i didn't do a small bolt and well i was lucky i got it out lol.

Something about SS that galls like a MF.

 

[brandoz28]

i think mine was around 30 bucks, i bought it over a year ago though lol. i believe mine are polished though i'd have to check though.


i'll be using these on this motor though

I bet they aren't polished. Only some little guy like this could stand at a grinder, grind off all the knurled sides, buff each one individually, and still make some kind of profit selling em for 24 shipped.

Hell, I couldn't even go down to the hardware store and buy em for that price.

 

[brandoz28]

i know the knurls were gone.

 

[royalt67]

Then I stand corrected. I:I

 

[brandoz28]

no worries, i'm gonna go with this kit this time around i think. save a couple bucks and still get a good product



it does come with stator screws right? my SMS one did...

 

[royalt67]

Hmmm, good point. I just checked and I think it only comes with the bolts that show externally. The case bolts packet only has 7 and it should be 10 total if I remember correctly. And no, no stator bolts.

 

[brandoz28]

shoot... might go with the SMS one then, it came with every case bolt, every cover bolt, including ones for the oil pump cover. i really hate those phillips headed bolt/screws

 

[royalt67]

Yeah, it came with all of those, just not the ones that don't show, like the internal case bolts.
