Where to buy 8mm x 1.25 12 Point Nuts?

I'm working on my winter project (YSR-50) and I got an aftermarket big bore cylinder for it. It was part of the spares I got when I bought the bike.

Unfortunately the standard 12mm head flange nuts will not work to bolt down the barrel as the casting is much bigger than OEM. I can't push the nut in far enough to get the hole over the stud.

Are there any shops in the GTA sell 8mm x 1.25 12 Point Nuts. ARP or generic, i don't think it will matter as its only to hold down all 65cc's and the manual says 14 ft/lbs

Thanks

I got most of my stuff from either Lowes or Bolts Plus.

Or even.....

I like bolts plus. I tried the one in Mississauga at lunch time but they don’t stock them. I need garden bags so I’ll have a look in Lowe’s tomorrow

Modify the head, end mill the area diameter to get the nut down to the base.

I managed to get a set of ARP at tdotperformance - Thanks for the recommendation Mike. Its probably overkill as they are rated to 180,000 psi and the studs in the case are only medium carbon alloy... they are probably good enough for an F1 engine... LOL.

There is not enough material to mill it out as the bore is the big bore kit is around +6 oversize.

Anyway, they are in the post
