I’ve removed the pannier rails from my GS and the Torx bolts were almost shot.. was lucky to get them off. Anyone know an easy way to find replacements? They are T30 and T25s.. the T25s are the ones fitted on lots of panels.

Probably but must be somewhere online
Depends where you live.
You may have someone like Bapp for bolts locally or similar. They should be able to sort you out.

What thread are they? M5, M6 etc ?
Stainless A4 marine grade would do, sufficient tensile strength to match an 8.8 steel plated bolt.

Think i found them on motorworks thanks
The mothership uses slightly different pitches on many of there bolts / fixings
they may look the same .. untill you fit them

You’ll find stainless steel ones on eBay. Oh, and buy a heat gun to soften the loctite - so you don’t fuck anymore?! lol
They will be standard metric thread pitch ... and of course depending on dia, there may be 3 variants (std , fine and coarse) ... but the are no "slightly different pitches" bolts / fittings made !
lol yeah I’ll pass that on to the previous owner as clearly they didn’t!
Run a tap through any fixed female fasteners to clean up any galling or thread damage.
Use an anti seize on assembly such as Coppaslip or a dry film lubricant.
