I really don´t care if I have to pay more than what it really cost for the shipping, just to go to another town cost me around 20 euros, and a few hours, thats how isolated I am.
Thank you so much!


Just type m6x16mm flange head bolt in the e bay search bar and you will bring up 67 listings...... :wink:

having followed this thread i am still baffled
how does a missing bolt and a loose bolt cause smoking and over reving? im assuming iol is getting into the combustion chamber somehow?
thanks george

Hi, so finally I manage to get the bolt missing.
Now I have another question
What should be the torque setting for these bolts?

This is what I have found online, but not sure what it means with min-max

Thanks!!
