If you are down this way anytime, try Duchy Fastners at Perranporth. Over the years I've replaced many bolts on my bikes with stainless steel allen bolts; they used to be so cheap that it was embarrassing buying single or small numbers of bolts.

Avon stainless fasteners in Bristol are very cheap and do mail order, the only ones they don't stock are the specials like camcover bolts etc.

cheers for the advice guya, jay yeah i tried pro bolt, they are the same as the link that scorcher posted, cheers for that scorcher, seems to be alot easier to find stuff on there! all these sites are bloody expensive though! £200 for the kits then you still have to but the sprocket nuts, brake disc nuts ect ect well over £300 for everything!!!!

yeah pretty much the same prices. had a look on a few other sites that sell stainless bolts and nuts ect, not bike specific ones, just normal DIY shops. works out so much cheaper to buy them from a shop like that, ss sprocket nuts are about £20 for 6, to buy them in an everyday shop its about £3 for 10! funnily enough though pro bolt ect dont give the measurments of the bolts in the kits so wouldnt be sure what ones to order from the other shops!

What you have to do is take bolts out one at a time and measure them all up, then go to a shop. Jams suggestion of avon stainless fasteners is probably your easiest choice.
