Does anybody know the M size & thread pitch of the clutch basket bolts and spring retainer screws? I'd like to source some titanium replacements. Thanks
I think you're chasing windmills Don... ;D
M 8x1.25 -20.

Quixotic! Likely. I've been slowly replacing all fasteners with Ti. Why? Dunno! I'm married to this bike. Might stick with stock on the grade 8 basket bolts vs Ti. But the spring retainer screws which are M5x20 will be replaced.
I just buy stainless M5x20 from McMaster.
5-7 Nm. Screwdriver tight works. Titanium? Listen to krista.

Okay. Why? Nate gave me a cryptic reply, and you were a bit clearer but never gave a reason.
I require clarity. Thanks.
Total waste of money. Though I can't quote weight saving numbers it would be insignificant. Aesthetics? I doubt anyone would notice. Stainless solves the rust problem. Possible metallurgy problems and sourcing? Solved and time tested by krista.

Makes perfect sense and I've come to my senses.
