'T' or star types of screws and bolts, where to get?

[heysugar]

Hi rider, where can we actually find those t4, t5 etc... types of screws? (alot of bike theft for accessories recently) Like those star shape instead of normal Allen keys shape,

Looking for those smaller ones for fairings, number plate screws if you know what I mean. Heard there's a shop around jalan basah there that has a old hardware shop that has it.

 

Thanks a mil!

I use normal screws and apply epoxy on them... for End Cans... I get them tap weld..

[heysugar]

Epoxy?! So how you remove the screws in future?!

Worse come to worse, can always drill out..

Oh... I know you can always sort of like dig away the epoxy.. So nobody knows where can we find them?

Theres a hardware shop by the name Poey Huat Hardware in Kelantan Lane area (near ah boy), they carry many different kinds of bolts, screws, nuts, washers, snap rings, etc etc. I found some of my otherwise harder-to-find stuff from there, perhaps u can give it a try.

 

But as what some of the other forumers have said, using epoxy to seal or do spot welding are still better security options. Epoxy u can slowly dig out, while spot welding can be sawn away, although it may look ugly after u saw.

If you lazy to go Jln Besar / Kelantan lane. You can get them from RS-Component (SGP), order on-line and get delivered to your door-step.
