    Hi Repsol, both packs are reasonable, the plating on the zinc plate nuts & bolts is not specially clever but for the price hey. Also something to remember is that once you go past M8 the pitch of the thread is not the same as Honda pitch therefore you cannot wind a M10 screwfix bolt into the Honda Threads. Also note it is strongly recommended that you use copper slip or quick silver on stainless fasteners as they have a bad habit of "picking up" ie jamming and you'll never get them apart if they do.

    careful where you use stainless bolts has it doesn't have the tensile strength of steel

    Stainless comes in either A2 or A4 , the later being better quality mainly used on boats outside fittings etc. Stainless not to be used on any stress related parts including caliper bolts/suspension.

    Metric threads used on the Honda vary from standard pitch, including 1.25 and .15 fine. So be careful when you screw bolts in. Check with a thread gauge first if you have one!!
