Race Grade Fastening Solutions

In a tuning environment, every gram and joint integrity counts. The 3RACING TS-FSM308AL/BL M3 x 8 AL7075 flat head hex socket screws are sized for low profile installations while supporting reliable clamp in non critical load paths.

Material and Assembly Considerations

AL7075 provides a favourable strength to weight ratio for lightweight race builds. When fitting these screws check thread engagement and mating surfaces to ensure consistent preload and to avoid galling on softer threads.

Application and Upgrade Notes

These M3 x 8mm flat head hex screws are appropriate for body mounts, small bracketry and trim fixing where a countersunk head is required. Use compatible hex drivers and consider thread locking on vibration sensitive joints.

How do these screws affect overall weight and handling?

Swapping heavier hardware for AL7075 fasteners trims mass at each mounting point. While individual gains are small, cumulative reductions help in fine tuning balance for competitive setups.

Any installation tips for consistent clamp and alignment?

Ensure holes are clean and threads undamaged, use a correct fit hex driver, and apply consistent torque across related fasteners. For high vibration zones use an appropriate thread locking method.

Are these screws suitable for tuning upgrades and part swaps?

Yes, they serve well as lightweight replacements in tuning work, particularly where a flush head is required. Verify thread compatibility when mixing with different host materials.
