I bought my friend some 3/8 x 16tpi bolts from the hardware store for his profile mini to get his bike working. On the top of the bolt it says something like "Y E 5" which was also stamped on the bolts of my other friends brand new minis. Hes now expecting me to buy him brand new bolts from profile. This being said, the bolts being completely identical, my friend is trying to convince ne theyre not the same, and profile makes their own axle bolts. Do they make their axle bolts or just buy the same hardware store bolts and put them in their volcano washers and sell them for profit?
