Default Bolts for Curvy Torque Arm.

Want to get those two bolts made in Stainless.

There is a company that do make copies but they need originals to copy. So condition not too important.

Anybody got them lying around surplus to requirements?

Ta.

Yes it would be cheaper, but the OEM bolts are "shouldered". The rear is only 10mm anyway but the front is 12mm and cos I use my back brake a lot I reckon that the hole may well get elongated due to braking and acceleration stress. Could use a 12mm bolt in the front though.

Thanks for the offer tactcom7, but at 7 quid each in stainless they'd be an expensive loan.

Still, don't ask, don't get.

Still wondering if I can justify 20quid to do the job anyway.

I use an M10 bolt and i have done that for about 4 years ago, as i lost one of the bolts somewhere on the M4, and to date has had no ill effects. I use my rear brake a lot as i commute.

Yep, I think I'll go with ordinary bolts. M10 rear and M12 front.

Thanks for the input guys
