What is the purpose of the drilled head on this bolt?

The drilled hole in the head is typically for installing safety wire. This is a method used in racing and high-vibration applications to secure fasteners and prevent them from loosening under stress.

Why would I choose a titanium bolt over a steel one?

Titanium offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio. It's as strong as many steels but considerably lighter, making it ideal for performance builds where reducing overall vehicle weight is a goal.

What does the 'flanged' head mean on this bolt?

A flanged head has an integrated washer-like surface that is wider than a standard bolt head. This helps to distribute the clamping force over a larger area of the mating surface, which can prevent damage and improve holding power.

Product Details

What you get with this Ticon Industries part is a single M8x25mm titanium bolt. It features a flanged head with a 12mm 6-point socket drive and a 1.25 thread pitch. This bolt is drilled, which is often done to allow for safety wire to be installed, a common practice in racing or high-vibration environments to prevent loosening.

Titanium is chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it's strong like steel but significantly lighter. This makes it a popular choice for performance applications where reducing mass is important, such as in engine bays. The flanged head distributes load over a wider area compared to a standard bolt head, which can be beneficial when fastening components together.
