Brake disc carrier bolts

While not quite on topic of brake bolts, the Zane Laverda outfit used stainless fasteners extensively on their bikes.  Unfortunately, they chose mostly button head allen screws and inserted them without lube or anti-sieze.  Fuckin' nightmare to remove some of them after a decade...  ::)  Very often, the only option is a hammer and chisel!

BTW, Schnoor washers readily available here.  It's become a habit of mine to replace normal spring washers with them, I find too many fractured spring washers.

Piet, I'm also a fan (they look to goods for SF cam flanges (to d=negate the doming effect of the std star washers!). I notice there are a variety of Schnorrs available - including in stainless. I've ordered some M6 and M8 from Boltmasters Brisbane main branch but they only list (and specify) 'heavy duty' and 'serrated' in zinc and black - the Schnorr catalogue lists V and VS type. Any idea what the Brembo carriers use, for ex?
 
Quentin,

Don't know the exact spec, but they seem to be of the lighter variant.  I have thick and thinner ones in stock.

I use them at the camshaft join on the twins too.  A lot safer than the star washers, or the spring washers I sometimes find. Often, these simply fall to bits upon disassembly!
