JRH Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Depending on the size could try B&Q, Homebase or screwfix.Then check Amazon and Ebay.There are online suppliers but then postage may be high for just a couple of items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Probably M8 or M6 threads. Measure the depth of the threads and the length of the the mounting tubes in the sissy bar. Try to measure the diameter of the threads.on the bolts you have. When you have all the dimensions, post on here, I may have some spare stainless bolts and washers.

LegOverLass Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks for the replies. My bolts are M8 and 20mm in length. Sissy bar mount is 5mm.I've found the allan bolts on amazon, not sure about spacers yet. They aren't cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 You want good quality stainless bolts or they'll rust very quickly. I get my stuff from here http://www.groveco.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Never seen spacers for sale, but you could either use loads of stainless washers or buy a length of ally tube with 8mm inside diameter and saw it to length.Have you got an estimate of total length needed, ie tube length plus spacer length plus thread length in frame?

Plenty of people sell spacers on eBay and some will even make them to size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
