I am trying to find some 12 point head metric fasteners

The hard to find lengths are

M10-1.5 x 110, 130 & 150mm
M8-1.25 110, 130 & 150mm

Tried ARP, Gardner and most of the normal places and no one has squat. I need them for my KRC power steering pulley set up to match all the other ARP fasteners on the motor.

Any idea's?

They seem to have most everything. But you might have to go to something besides 12 point or have ARP make you the bolts custom.

If you can't find them and HAVE to have them then there are companies that will make bolts to order.

For instance, nobody made the 12mm x 80 x 1.5 that I needed. These guys had them to me in two days.

But be prepared for sticker shock.. limited runs of anything is expensive. Still, it's nice to have options.

I deal with metric fasteners every day and checked our suppliers. Those sizes do not seem to be "standard" for that style of bolt. You may have to go the custom route if you are dead set on those. it looked as thought you could get the socket head screws in those specifications. Good luck.

what about using a stud (ie threaded rod) and a 12 point nut?
