• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

rear shock bolt

anyone know if there is a replacement bolt and nut for the rear shock that wont corrode? I looked but cant find anything on it.

stainless steel would be nice. I know they make covers to hide them but I rather cure the disease than putting a band aid on it.

anyone know?

I personally would stick with at least a Grade 8 minimum for that application. And, that rules out stainless.

Why has it corroded, winter road salt or something?

Cheers.

:agree: Also, if it is a shouldered bolt or is not threaded the full length, it would need to be replaced with the same type of bolt. If you are having a corrosion problem, I would recommend:

1. Cleaning frequently...and dry it if you can.

2. Put a little silicone grease or WD-40 on the exposed parts to repel water.

3. Buy a replacement bolt, mask against overspray, then put a light coat of clear lacquer on the exposed parts.
 
hairspray also makes a good sealer against rusting.........:thumbup:
nickle plate grade 8 high tensile bolt is the way to go.
