Could someone from Australia advise me where I can buy, in Australia, the 2 blanking bolts "that fit in the head" after removing the AI. 2010 Thruxton.

Its an M12x1.25 mm bolt. Apparently some Nissan models have these as oil drain plugs. You'll also need the copper or aluminium crush washers suitable for that bolt.

Here's a thread discussing suitable bolts:

Forchetto - thanks for your reply - you always take the time to help people on this forum.
I did already know about the drain plugs but the reason I wanted to get the exact bolts was so that I got the right length. My reason for this is if the bolt is too long and there is a carbon build up on the exposed threads and due to some emission/roadworth inspection (god help us) I have to replace the original tubes, then I may damage the thread in the head when I remove the blanking bolts. Vice-versa if the bolts are too short.
The other reason is they dont cost much and I wanted to keep it as simple and easy as possible and know I could finish the job once I started it.
Once again - thanks for your reply.

Ray,
Why make life difficult for yourself? NewBonneville.com will have them on your doorstep in about 6 days, and probably cheaper than you'll buy locally.

Thunderbike in NZ can provide. Their pricing and delivery times are OK.
Cheers, Simmo

I'm sure any "kit" bolts you will buy are not exactly the right length either. Just get the bolts at the hardware store for 2 or 3 dollars, they'll work just fine.
