FYI for everyone about Titanium bolts for this aplication! I will install Spider mount and Podium Racing hardware so to make sure hardware is up to task I contacted manufacturer. Gary at Podium Racing responded fast and with accurate information regarding their hardware for this aplication!
Guys please let's not spread information that is not supported by facts which can be dangerous if used in our aplication. Riding/ racing bikes is already dangerous as it is and we don't need to add to that by using something while assuming it will work. Facts like provided here by Podium are in the end peace of mind which at the racetrack means A LOT!!!
I have and will continue to use their product because of high quality, value and awesome support that they provide to the customer!
This is Gray's response,
We use grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V alloy as it has great mechanical properties, very lightweight, and corrosion resistance. Our suspension bolts will have no issue in your application.
