Lots of great information on this thread and lots to learn. If someone would be kind enough to consider posting, I’m curious to know of the bolt specs for each of the Mac spline bolts on the 100cc and 101 series and of those for the West Bends. I tried referring to the parts list for my 101AA but it only refers to the rod bolts as specialty bolts and does not provide the diameter and thread count. It appears that bolts in the range of 220ksi and higher are required, or at least, preferred.
Since there has been lots of discussion on cost, what would one consider a good price per bolt or per a box of 100? Even if they are relatively pricey, as stated, the cost would be nominal in the grander scheme of things as compared to the cost of blowing an engine. We have a locally headquartered aerospace company right down the main road from me. I sold a kart to one of the gentleman there last year and was curious to see if he would be able to source the spline bolts in question and if he can get them cost effectively.
