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.

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.

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.

Bolts removed. Thread lock wired brushed off and refitted with copper slip.
Cheers again for the advice Duke.
