Attachment 5992 hi there can someone help me out looking for a couple of things i need some fancy bolts one to replace the seat hol;der at the rear and four to replace where the screen was attached to the forks i have a custom fasteners book but can not make head nor tail of it. dont know the size. etc i am a long way from dealer to nip in any advice weould be great

They will be UNF or UNC.

Measure diameter of bolt (not spanner size of head) will be 5/16"-3/8" etc.

Next measure length.This is from UNDER the head in inches.

Next measure number of threads per inch. (TPI). A ruler is good enough for this,count the number of threads (teeth) that fit in 1 inch.If the bolt is shorter,measure over 1/2 inch and double it.

At the bottom of the UNC/UNF bolt page it gives you the TPI for each size,ie 3/8" UNF= 24 TPI 3/8" UNC= 16 TPI.

NOTE:Bolts are only threaded part way,if you want threads all the way up you need HEX HEAD SCREWS.


If it was me I'd look elsewhere as I have concerns about the integrity of a company that says Whitworth and UNC are the same.They're not,there's 5 degrees diff in the thread angle.They will go together but will never "fit"

Have a look here in the MULTI-FIT file at the bolt caps.

Check out page 26 of the file.

Find what you want in the above book, and then order from these people. I've used them several times for chrome or stainless steel.

You could also try these people. I got my stainless stuff from them and they were brilliant on price, quality and delivery.
