Longer Balancer bolt... Damn it... I've been to two different hardware stores looking for a M16 x 2.0 pitch x 120mm bolt. NOTHING, the closest thing was a 100mm bolt. I'm getting pissed off. Where do you find this thing?
Has anyone made one of these? It looks pretty cool, but I tried to assemble something like this in the hardware but I think I am just too retarted. Any help would be awesome.
Also...I've got a 12pt 24mm socket and I've been looking to buy a 6pt one just for this cam install, but wouldnt you know that everywhere I go they skip 24mm in their inventory. I guess SEARS is next.

FWIW I've yet to run into a problem using the 12 point on crank bolt.
