Are stainless torx available for brake disc fixings on a Ully ? Thanks in advance. |

The Ducati WSB team use 316 (A4) stainless bolts for their disc rotors, supplied by Probolt. 316 has greater tensile strength, proof stress and elongation qualities than ordinary ferrous bolts. I wouldn't use 'normal' A2 stainless bolts in a stress crucial application. |

I wouldn't use 'normal' A2 stainless bolts in a stress crucial application. Erm, am I missing something here? UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength) of 316 Stainless is around 500MPa whereas the UTS of High Tensile Steel (Allen screws with 12.9 stamped in them) is 1200MPa. Even SAE Grade 8 bolts (6 radial lines on the head of a hex bolt) as used on critical fasteners on Buells (brake rotors / front isolators) are over 1000MPa... |

Erm... I'm not even going to bother. Maybe I'll bother to argue the point at this year's Calne. Enjoy this weekend. |

BUGGER my one of set of A2 disc rota bolts have been on for over 140000 miles .poped a stope on sunday still ok dude

pash - tensile strength and shear strength are not necessarily the same thing; materials can behave differently depending on the direction and application of force. you are not trying to stretch rotor bolts, you are trying to snap their ends off |

Indeed, in use you are trying to shear them, to cut through them, however I was responding to TtT's point about the material properties of 316. In actual fact, I think you will find that the limit on how tight you can do a stainless Allen screw up for a disc will be a close run thing between rounding off the internal hex on the head and stripping the thread in the casting... You probably know more about material properties than I... |
