#1 or Allen whatever that is.
Whichever you go with I think you definitley need some kind of washer so you don't chip the paint as you torque it down.
Do you think that expansion rate of different grades of bolts will cause oil leaks later on? I know Allens are grade 12 and you do have temperature and oil to contend with. I don't know the answer I am just bringing up the question.
With a blower being painted like that it will act as a insulater and trap some small amount of heat. I never could understand that flat black color idea of rejecting heat? Like how it works after dark or when the engine is enclosed? It has been used and proven for years that it works using black to dissapate heat.
Sorry to get of track. The main point is what metals to mix for expansion rates. Especialy in fastners. That sucker is sooooo pretty. I keep going back to it just to stare at it. I should just save it and use it for wallpaper for a while.
I'm sure whatever you decide will be auwsome.
