Titanium bolts!

Where are you using them?

Bought the 135,000 psi tensile strength bolts using them engine mounts, exhaust mounts, exhaust manifold and any place else I think of!

Very pricey though,

Why??

EZP work fine.

S/Steel do the same job and look pretty.

Titanium???.....same job as s/steel except with £5 notes attached.

Stainless steel is not strong has a very low tensile strength, it is a very hard steel but very brittle and can't deform without breaking. Only has about a 35,000 psi strength

Titanium on the other hand has a very high tensile strength (dependant on make up) and looks the part the ones I chose are 135,000 psi tensile
