Folks,
I need (for another project):
M10 X 1.5, stainless steel, button or allen head, LEFT hand thread
And I cannot find any, if I need to buy a bunch I will.

Any idea's?

have to ask why.

I put Albert-clone mirrors on my /5 BMW and the stock mirror holes bother me so I want pretty bolts to fill the holes, one hole is M10 X1.5 standard but the other one is M10 X 1.5 LH thread.

I know yamaha uses those threads and mikesxs sells adapters, I know he sells rubber hole plugs.

Why not find a bigger bolt you like and thread the holes to match :?: Or just as a machinist to make plugs you can just glue in with silicone :?:

I am pretty sure that the Japanese threads are 1.25 and I do not want to make any changes that can not be undone.

My "plan B" is to fill the holes with silicone and a small diameter SS button head with an AN washer stuck in the silicone, I was just hoping someone knows where to get the bolts.

I found the bolt:
SS, allen head, LH thread, M10 X 1.5 X 20, $13.88! but for that kind of $ I will go with "plan B".

The bolt is at www.ballerbolt.com, thet have some VERY cool dress-up bolts in Titanium, Aluminum and SS.

Did you think it was going to be less than that? :mrgreen:

For a 20 MM allen head, my guess was that it would be sky-high price-wise (I would have paid about $7 or $8), but $14 + shipping?!, no way!!
