Re: Where to find Kz1000 exhaust mounting nuts with washers
06 Jul 2021 14:41Yes, that's correct. I didn't realize that the OE style captive split washers were so unusual. I figured I just wasn't looking in the right place.Mikaw post=851387OP is asking for OE style. They are captured spring washer nut. Flange nuts, we called them wiz nuts, those are easy. He asked for OE style.
Looking at the options so far, I'm considering using either a conical spring washer similar to the Ebay link Mikaw posted, or a "distorted thread flange nut".

Either that, or just regular old separate nuts and lock washers.
Dr. Gamma, where do you get your titanium fasteners?

Hey DOHC the last few times I got some titanium fasteners they came from Titan-X in England. They have a few different styles of fasteners in most common sizes, and they all come drilled for safety wire. Just wish their nuts came drilled for wire. Their prices are reasonable and they ship quick from the other side of the pond!!!! There are all kinds of places now selling titanium hardware and they all are reasonable priced compared to what I used to pay for titanium fasteners 15, 20 years ago!!!!

The captive lock washers were only for ease/speed of assembly, separate washers and nuts will look original. The high priced originals do look like they are from Johnnys Vintage Cycle, you can see the very small logo in the add. I paid kind of stupid money for a footpeg stud that had gone missing for my Z1A. Johnny was brilliant to buy up all the hardware that he did, must have known someone would want it someday!

13 Aug 2021 19:57 - 13 Aug 2021 19:58DOHC post=851424Thanks! I was going to ask about a source for that style as well, but I had no idea what to call it. Now I know.Mikaw post=851420 Look into Fuji lock nuts
I thought I'd add an update. I ordered some fuji style nuts from a place called MotoSport.
www.motosport.com/bolt-fuji-style-metric-lock-nuts?variant [BMH000S]=BMH000S-X001-Y003
They seem fine, and were not ridiculously expensive. However, it turns out the stud is not quite long enough to fully engage the lock tabs. It's close....
