It can be made from stock materiel, ensure you incorporate the shouldered diameter. Stainless steel would be fine to use and in that diameter is readily available from stockists. I would not use studding as the plain shank of the bolt is there to stop fretting when in place. Studding with the thread crests will cut into the crankcase through flexing and vibration. M/cycle frames flex, so movement is a certainty. Clive

I've used "Custom Fastners" in the past. NB. When assembling Stainless Nuts and bolts you MUST apply a lubricant to the thread BEFORE assembly. "Copperslip" is recommended, otherwise you will learn another word (Besides Anglo - Saxon) - - Galling.
