Taken from the D1 Spec knackered nut thread.
Stainless Steel has a yield strength of 520mpa
Aluminium 6061-0 has a yield strength of 45mpa
Aluminium 6061-T4 has a yield strength of 110mpa
So Duraluminum with a yield strength of 450mpa should not be shunned off for just being 'Aluminium'.
No I believe Wasso was telling me how much he rates rays nuts. Saying how strong yet lightweight they were.
The Duraluminum nuts are just shy of steel nuts.
Aluminium nuts don't stand a chance.
As said Rays wouldn't endorse their own nuts if they were going to fail. Nearly 3 years on and never an issue, and my nuts have had a right good bashing
Stop being a little girl about that!
It's bull spunk and you know it
"dibs" is what you use in the playground at school
Well just make sure you use it! Remember there's a large number of people who fire questions but don't actually want them.
Dibs, or yes please is normally a good indicator so that others are aware of your interest.
How is this relevant Ian?!
Of course it keeps me amused.
They probably got dirty.
I remember spending weeks and weeks polishing the wheels & frame on my ZXR750. Never again. It was a nightmare keeping them clean.
They will receive a clear coat just like oem so cleaning will remain simple.
Back burner with spacers, polishing and detailing taking a front seat.
I've got some special paint stripper on its way to me, so that will be stage one of the project very soon.
I'll update when I have some news.
