I just received a new 80cc stinger kit. Is it ok to replace the engine mounting studs, exhaust studs and carb studs with grade 8 metric bolts?

Thanks
 
Of course it is. You might invest in a tap set though, not all the holes are tapped to the bottom. Harbor Freight has a nice Metric tap set for about $12.

You might check out Sick Bike Parts, too. They have replacement bolt sets.
 
Thanks Dave. Harbor Freight is 2 blocks from my house. I will run a tap through them and use high temp loctite.

I checked out Sickbikes but I can get bolts for 1/8 the price.

I did just what you are planning on doing. As DaveC said, it is quite doable. I used Grade 8 bolts; they work just fine.
