Does anyone know a source? I see several dealers are selling but does anyone know if any specific ones (i.e. Scootopia, Casa, MB) are high tensile, as per original?

Thanks!

+1 for mb end plate bolt kit. They will be all correct length and height for heads.

Thanks for the recommendation. Regardless of what Innocenti did in the '70s, I'm not a fan of bolts into alloy cases. Studs every time. I have studs, just looking for some high tensile M7 spring washers and 'thin' nuts.

Never had an issue with the Scooter Restorations offerings.
Did you have to do that?

Scooter Restorations were selling the original spec' items, which meant that they were my 'go to place' but the last ones that I ordered arrived as correct studs but crappy/common soft nuts :(

It might be worth trying Scooter Restorations to see if they still have some of the correct spec' ones on the shelf.

Thanks Adam.

In the meantime, found these trawling MB's website. Waiting on delivery, but if they are as described
7mm high-tensile plain nut, thin,for use on gearbox endplate studs
then they will be exactly what I'm looking for. Fingers crossed.

Correct part, but no indication if the M7 nuts are high tensile, unless you know otherwise.
