5VY R1 engine mounts - Source of 12.9 cap head bolts?
I'm trying to find some high strength bolts for the engine mounts. I need M10 fine x 80mm and M10 fine x 150mm. Everywhere seems to only offer
these as hex head 8.8 or stainless soft as cheese versions. Anyone know where i can get some 12.9 grade?
Also can you buy 12.9 grade studding? Currently using bog standard 8.8 for the other mounts but have already bent one. 
TIA

Thanks Chris. I just bought standard studding so 4.8 would explain why it bent so easily. I'll go lookign for some 8.8.
Cheers Jim. I'll check out their site.

12.9 is standard supply at my local fastnings shop for cap head bolts, 8.8 for hex bolts. Also I am pretty sure the mounts are not fine thread in the
top mounts. I'm sure I have some left over I can measure the length if you want. Instead of using studding for the lower mounts I was advised to
tap the engine to M12 and use bolts.
