Expensive but trick as fook and therefore worth it IMO. Easy to spend more on a night out so why not is the way I looked at it.

Re: Fitted Some Titanium
I'm sure you knew this already, Blade, but make sure that titanium bolts are well covered copper grease or similar.
Ti can apparently bond to other metals.

Re: Fitted Some Titanium
I didn't know that Duke and as there brake disc mounting bolts I put some low strength loctite on them. Perhaps I need to remove and copper slip asap. Cheers for advice.

Re: Fitted Some Titanium
Bolts removed. Thread lock wired brushed off and refitted with copper slip.
Cheers again for the advice Duke.
