looking to buy a bag of shiney allen head bolts to tidy up the engine bay. Think we are looking at m6 12-14mm which should do the job on all 10mm holes (correct me if im wrong). Any one interested in going in on this. Id be ordering from RS

Have a look into galvanic corrosion when choosing which material the bolts are gonna be made from. The head is after all made of aluminum. Just a thought anyway when using dissimilar metals.

i presumed it would be stainless steel throughout, i know about dissimilar metals from setting up subsea equipment. I think the black steel one would corrode alot quicker.
