Titanium Front Engine Mount Bolt
-
So I've got the engine out to try and sort the oil leak, thought I'd do all the bolts for some titanium.
Whilst looking I see that someone on eBay sells the right bolt for the front engine mount.
M10x125mm
Thought worth mentioning that this fits our DTRs too so if you wanted to replace some of the bigger bolts with something lighter...there you go.

@lllDennis I haven't checked to make sure it actually slides through the engine, but I see no reason why not.
So unlike Stainless Steel bolts, this is designed to be under tension. Up to 64nm, which should be plenty for the front engine mount. There is a noticeable difference between this and the stock bolt. That doesn't mean much on its own, but couple it with a whole array of bolts and you will shave off plenty of weight.
I also did the rear engine mount, but that was a much more accessible M8 60mm so nothing to write home about. And was like £5. But the M10 is a little hard to get ahold of.

@Calum It's worth a shot. Don't see a reason that it wouldn't fit.
I was actually making a list to order a full Inox A2 bolts and nuts. To prevent any rust. But actually the titanium makes a lot more sense
@lllDennis So my rebuild consisted of Stainless as it's cheap.
I just got all the bolts for the engine from "Raceti" and that cost me £145. So it's not cheap. And I'm sure you can appreciate there are a lot more bolts than just the engine.
The thing that hurts is when they rattle off!
