Motorcycle Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners | Pan Phillip Self Tapping Screws

For particularly torque-sensitive applications, Shakeproof’s Ger-Nib feature can be incorporated in the Cyclone screw to increase strip-out torque. This feature consists of unique, aggressive protrusions on the underside of the screw head that absorb high driving torque and prevent stripping in thin-gauge sheet metal.

Why not simply rotate the printed inlay to serve as a washer and have holes for the bolt printed into it? Would prevent the nut from chewing away the Aluminium and hold the nur in place.

To fit within the narrow spaces left in the slot, the tool is printed as thin as possible: the width of our 3D printer’s nozzle. This also makes economical use of filament and it’s very fast to print, both attributes useful for a disposable item since this thin positioning tool can’t be removed once the bolts are tightened down. It is well worth the sacrifice, though, because it turns a frustrating exercise of aligning small fasteners into a trivially simple task.

Cinema art came to Pakistan from Bombay. The three main poster ustads trained in Bombay were Moinuddin Azad, Sardar Khan (better known as S. Khan) and Mustafa Chughtai.

Given that their peak horsepower is only 1.1 horsepower apart, you might be tempted to think that these two engines are similar across the board. Not so! At 6000 rpm, the KTM makes 2 horses more than the Yamaha. At 7000 rpm, the KTM makes 4 horses more. At 8000 rpm, the KTM makes 2.6 horsepower more, and at peak it makes 1.1 horsepower more. When you add in the KTM’s 3 foot-pounds more of torque at 500 rpm lower in the rpm range than the YZ, you get a KTM engine that is quicker, more responsive and has instant throttle response.

The most recent campaign to centre on Mr Jinnah was The Dawn of Pakistan 1906-1948. The objective of this 37-episode photo feature (which featured in Dawn, DawnNews and Dawn.com) was to engage a new generation of readers by bringing to life and documenting the story of the subcontinent’s freedom movement through the full-page display of rare, iconic and sometimes never seen before photographs.

With some remarkable marketing success stories of Pakistani enterprises now analysed as case-studies in leading Western universities, a large vacuum in academia awaits fulfilment.

We have heard stories of builders using stock replacement rod bolts, or even re-using hardware during a rebuild, but we could never do it ourselves. We’d certainly never recommend reusing any main bearing or connecting rod fastener. Upgrading to higher quality, higher strength fasteners is the kind of insurance we happily pay for. It’s easy enough to find premium bottom-end hardware, but should we go with bolts, or studs? How should they be installed? What about the lubricant on the threads? We understand that a shift in hardware will generate a lot of questions, and we’re here to answer as many as we can. We teamed up with the experts at Automotive Racing Products (ARP) who specialize in high performance fasteners, and they shared some solid technical information and installation tips with us.

Seat. Although the Husqvarna saddle looks identical to the KTM seat, it is not. Not only does it mount via a single bolt behind the left side panel, but it changes the seating position and seat height compared to the KTM setup. It is also 1 1/2 inches longer and a lot thinner than the KTM seat.

Stud finders fall into two basic categories based on the method they use to detect studs, either magnetic or electronic. One’s not inherently better than the other; rather, each one offers different benefits for different situations.

Installing friction-drilling screws “is not like traditional screwdriving applications, where the fastener is a commodity item,” says Baeumler. “When you specify these fasteners for a project, you need to consider the equipment at the same time, even at the design stage.”
