Almanzar Motorsports 12 point 12.9 cam gear bolt

External 12-Point metric flange bolts offer a good alternative to hex head bolts.

Class 12.9 Alloy Steel provides high tensile strength (170,000 psi). Greater torque can be applied to these bolts because of the 12-spline design, which provides more surface area for contact during tightening.

These bolts have a non-serrated, smooth-bottom flange with a reduced outer diameter, making them easy to install in tight spaces or bored holes. The underside of the flange surface ensures superior force distribution over a greater area, eliminating the need for a separate washer.

The non-indented head prevents grease and dirt from accumulating on the head, providing a higher quality finish and appearance.

Twelve point flange bolts can be used with many different styles of locking and non-locking nuts to clamp tightly to whatever the bolt is being used to secure. A 12-point wrench is used to install and tighten these bolts. A black oxide finish provides minimal corrosion resistance, best for indoor, dry environments. This finish is not suitable for outdoor applications, and will rust when exposed to moisture.
