Why Use Titanium K-Series Alternator Bolts?
Over time, the old OEM alternator bolts become corroded or rounded after being removed and replaced multiple times. We have put together a grade 5 titanium replacement kit to fix this.
Titanium alternator bolt kits are made using the finest aircraft-grade Titanium Alloy, Ti-6AL-4V (Grade 5), a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
We take pride in that all our fasteners are forged and the threads are made using a unique rolling process. This results in increased fatigue resistance and reduced risk of galling during fastening.
We have tested this on multiple K-Series engines in development for fitment and the real world in racing applications and have only found one engine that doesn't fit, the k24a3, making this the most universal K-Series alternator bolt kit.
Our Grade 5 Titanium hardware is a reliable replacement for Grade 8.8 steel fasteners, offering a weight saving of approximately 45% compared to equivalent steel bolts. This weight reduction is particularly beneficial in the racing industry, where every gram matters, as this kit only weighs an incredibly small 47g!
In addition to the weight savings, Titanium is exceptionally corrosion resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, ensuring a longer service life than standard BZP steel bolts. This allows our hardware to perform exceptionally well in harsh environmental conditions, making it a popular choice among racing enthusiasts.
We now also offer an Exoracing lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects on all of our titanium bolt kits, as we are confident in our products and want to offer a risk-free shopping experience.
