I seem to have mislaid the 3 bolts from my original exhaust. I think they may have been in the toolkit that was stolen in the break-in.
Where is the best place to get replacements from?
Do they need to be from a bike shop, or are bolts just standard thread sizes, just get the right diameter?
I need to get some pretty quick as I've just sent the shock off for a service & powder coat, and it's due it's MOT as soon as that comes back...

Do you know the sizes you want?
I can borrow a few stainless from work and post them to you on Friday
There are a couple of good places in Swindon to get fastners if you know what you need or can take in a sample. My preference is Wessex Fastners in old town or south west fastners which I think have now moved somewhere over stratton or beyond.
Go back to Thorpe park and nick some of the bolts that held the roller coaster tracks to the floor ;)
As long as you have the right size/thread then i always use the bay :)
Which 3 bolts? I presume you mean the three that attach the standard silencer to the flange on the transfer pipe? :-? What did you use to attach your "race" can then? Can you not use the same three?
Probably something like M8 x 20 cap screws (1.25 pitch)

Sorry Del!
I didn't get chance to find out the size as was out last night. Will do it when I get back tonight. It's not urgent as the shock not due back for 2 weeks.
Fire extinguisher required in this thread, please :-)
Thread locked until you lot can grow up and stop taking pops at each other!
I suggest if anyone wants to follow up on any suggestions they pm.
