Grey is nothing to worry about, just overfuel from the autochoke no doubt :)

Ebay usually has longer bolts listed. Or, do a stud conversion.

I can't think where I got mine from now, think it was demon tweeks.

Demon Tweeks do Lengthened Bolts but prepair for about 300 Questions before you get the right ones.

you screw studs into the hub then use nuts to hold the wheels. Makes it easier when using spacers as it a biatch to set the wheel! There's hardly any lip on the hub to rest the wheel and unless you fixed the spacer to the hub the whole lot is spinning and moving so lining it up is a mare!

I had a couple of 5mm spacers machined up using a brake disc as template. It then fitted flush around the hub but also had a tapered whole drilled to fit an extra long fixing screw thru the spacer & disc to the hub. Cost me about £40 to get made up but worth it.
