I need some Handlebar bolts!

[bobob]

Strange request I know but when I bought my bike it was owned by a rather tall chap who popped some spacers under the handlebar brackets so as they sit higher. I now want to put them back to normal but unfortunately, and obviously, when I take the spacers out the bolts are too long!

Does anybody have a set or originals from a bike they are breaking?

Let me know if you do :mand:

Cheers!

Hacksaw? What length bolts do you need and what head type?

[bobob]

Ooh blimey not sure, I can't hacksaw them as the thread doesn't go up far enough. Not sure what size they are, just the standard ones that came with the bike. I can measure them tonight when I get home though.

why not hacksaw the other end then where the thread isn't?......

take the old long bolts into any decent engineering shop and buy some new shorter shocks

Just don't get the time to go shopping these days. Was hoping that maybe someone could pop them in the post in excange for a few squid.

Can't cut them off the over end as then wouldn't have an allen head left you ninwit ;)

Cut a bit out the middle then.


Seriously, it's a common standard bolt, just measure the length you need and order them online if you can't go to a bolt shop!

custom fasteners do a mail order service and do stainless which never go rusty
