smarty156 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I need a new bolt to replace one that has been rounded off on the clutch cover of my Gas Gas Pro. Searched all over and struggling to find any. Where is the best place to get them in the UK? The one I'm after is specifically an M5 x 40mm cap head allen bolt. Thanks.

smokey125 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Try putting "nuts and bolts" or "fixings and fastenings" into yell. I'd be amazed if something local didn't come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Plenty of choice on eBay, no need to seek out a genuine part from a bike dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 go titanium with pro bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarty156 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Looked at Pro Bolt website and couldn't find them. Will have to check again. Also, most online shops sell in packs of 100 only. There was a local nut and bolt shop but it's closed down now. Screwfix doesn't have any either. If anyone knows of a shop in North Kent I'd be grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
