You could get away with using the non-tapered (used loosely as they still have a very slight taper halfway down the thread) bolts in wheels that need the tapered ones, but it wouldn't work the other way around as the fatter part near the head wouldn't go in the hole properly.

cheers stu

hate it when i miss a post and ask again :evil:

i'll get the wheels 1st then get a set if needed. mine could be the right ones and puggy has put flat ones on , as you said you could probably do that but not the other way round

so i might get lucky and have the right bolts for the vulcans :mrgreen: fingers crossed
