A BIG ask

Post by **nugget** » Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:58 pm

Does anyone have a M7 x 1.0 pitch bolt?

One of my M6 allen head bolts that holds the bracket on for the chainguard as stripped it's thread. I'm going to have to re-tap it to the next size up.

I'd be very grateful if anybody has a spare one.

helicoil it

M7 aint a REGULAR size so I dont keep them around but it is available. I'd have to order them in if I needed them for anything...a bit like metric fine etc, theres only a limited few places that keep them. Normal DIY places wont have them on the shelf

Try stigsfastners or do an ebay search, they'll come up fairly cheaply

if you want to borrow a bracket temporarily until you get it sorted you'd be more than welcome. I can pop it in the post asap if you like. With the bolt etc.

I thought John meant the thread in the alloy swing arm was stripped, not the bracket

I think you're probably right. Once again I have proved that I should keep my mouth shut. Never mind, it's the thought that counts, isn't it?

A swing arm could prove to be a little more difficult.

ya know, I should've kept my Grifter. I knew all the parts on that...

Thanks Dave for the offer.

The problem is with the bolt hole in the swingarm itself.

Anoldmanreturns mentioned helicoil it but I'm not sure if there's enough meat there for that?

I'll have a look on ebay to see what's out there.

Thanks once again Dave. It's offers like yours that keeps this place going matey.

Now that could be a good option.

Thanks for that pitbull.

Interesting, my bike came without a chain guard so I've recently purchased one but have yet to fit it, does anyone have the bracket/s they wish to sell please?

Don't get confused with my swingarm it's a JMC one. If yours is a Yamaha one it should have the fitting points already there.

ive got a bag of M7 bolts, ill have to check the pitch and length for you tonight, length is probably around 20-25mm and im almost certain the TP is 1.00mm.

I'd be over the moon if you have John.

I've been hunting around on the phone all morning and not got anywhere as yet.
