Could anyone help? I'm looking for set of bolts for the HK450gt pro2 and I'm not sure if Align ones fit or even what size they are.
I would appreciate any pointers so I can finish off my 450 rebuild. Many thanks

Where/which bolts on the heli are looking to replace.. Should be the same as Align.

Download the 450 v2 or even dfc v3 manual from align's website.. That will give u the descriptions/dimensions of each screw throughout the illustrations. Most are 2.5 x 5mm.

rcscrewz.com I think is the web site. I am not sure what country they ship from. At one time they sold complete set of screws for Align models.

Thanks for the replies guys. I need them all really lol but the longer ones that hold the vertical fin and tail box. This is a complete rebuild. Changing everything
including all the bearings. The ones on the main shaft had gone completly. Is there some sort of kit with all the sizes supplied, or do I have to buy the bolts
a bit here and a bit there? Cheers

This set covers a lot more.. These are Align parts from expierience rc.. In the UK fastlad is the same if u wanted to try them.... Personally I've found if it's just a few specific screws.. I'll just pick up a pack of the size from my hobby store.. They carry a few different brands.. I usually get Patriot. Hope this helps.

I've had a set of rcscrewz upgrade bearings in my protos, I did a full bearing change after its first season's flights, I think that I got them from fast lad's.
