Bolt sizes and kits? Stainless steal or zinc and grading.

[Sgt Robuck 5]

My question is i'm looking at a bolts kit for my dt 125 2002. What type of bolts will i need? from my guess they're gonna be m5's and m6's mostly and would a stainless steal or zinc coating be better and at what bolt gradings -e.g. A2-70-? any help would be great!

And just order a whole load of sizes.

Not all of them are M6, some are M8, but M6 is a good start.

Better off with Stainless steel, however Stainless is the appropriate application for everything. It doesn't stretch well and shouldn't be used a direct replacement for iron.

I don't know the ins and outs, Google it, I just know the different types are metal are there for a reason.

What does this mean in real life, well my DT is built from the ground up using Stainless Steel with no issues so should be fine.

EDIT:
No idea why the links don't work...
