Heat Shield Fasteners R1100GS

[ipalacio]

It would seem that after one 'sniff' of salt, the torx (large) headed screws that hold the heat shield to the standard silencer/muffler on my 1999 R1100 GS have gone rusty!

Anybody know where I can source some 'stainless' equivalents? Have tried Motoworks and Motobins to no avail!

Somebody out there must have solved this one in the past! Help!!

Thanks

Ive used this company a few times for various S/S bits and pieces.

I cant see any S/S button head fasteners with the head size the same as the ones on the heat shield but if you go for an M5 Button head x 12mm long fastener and an M5 Large washer you shouldnt be far out.
At the sort of prices they charge its worth a try .
Good luck
