Yet again ive lost a lower rear shock bolt, N/S of course.
Now does anyone know what thread the bolt is? If so I'm going to buy a length of studding and thread it in with a nylock on each end.

NO idea sorry but have almost lost the N/S one myself. If you do find out, I would be tempted to do the same

I used a high tensile bolt, drilled through the shock mount and used a nylock nut :) .

I used some 13mm studding having drilled out the mounts (the bolts had sheared in mine).

I think the original bolts are M12 Metric Fine (1.25mm)

Thanks everyone, If i can find my thread gauges I'll check the pitch, but i too think they are M12x1.25. I think I'll order some studding and locknuts, if i have any left over I'll offer it for sale here to otheres.
