Try Tastynuts or BSR Aerotek.

I use both Ti and Alloy (lighter) bolts on my XTC. Although Alloy bolts should only be used on the bar clamps for shifters, brake levers and bar ends. You can use an alloy bolt for the stem cap, but use a steel one to compress the headset first, clamp the stem, then fit the alloy one.

There is a useful article Here which gives a few dos and donts...

Hi Thanks for the info. It seems there are better ways of loosing the weight though. you could save the same amount just buy buying better tyres or having a poo before you go out.

The bit at the bootom of the attachment seemed to contradict itself.

I use Ti bolts on the brake and shifter clamps, and the aheadset compression bolt.

I used to use chain ring bolts etc, but TBH, i would question their worth unless you are a serious weight weenie.

It's much easier to loose weight elsewhere.
