Anyone know what kind of bolt this is?

[Sandcracker]

I've tried tapered head sex bolt, barrel bolt, binding post, etc., but nothing is coming up. The barrel is 8mm wide and just shy of 1-7/8" (47mm) long.

Have you checked with Fastenal yet? Have them do your dirty work. :wink:

They sell them on McMaster-Carr

I haven't contacted fastenal yet, but I looked on the website. Couldn't find anything exactly like it.


I was thinking it was a binding post, but I can't find a tapered socket head. The monoshock I just ordered had 2 just like it, but I need the third for the top of the seat mount.

roller blade wheels use that type of bolt also

These have a Button Head on them -- but it's not exactly the same

In a pinch, you could chuck up the longer portion in a drill and spin them against a piece of sandpaper and make your own taper

 

[Sandcracker]

I looked at those, capguncowboy, but I really don't want to drill out the frame mounts to an imperial size. Maybe that's just me being too particular.

I used a metric button head allen with an acorn nut on the other side on my Murray. Those original bolts rust and get ugly way too fast!

 

[Sandcracker]

On my first murray, I did the same thing, but with two acorn nuts and allthread. The only reason I'm going down this road is the new mono shock had the exact same bolts.

 

[CarPlayLB]

I did some extensive looking when I got my Murray and never found anything. they are called mating bolts, or sex bolts. Change em all!

Just use a 5/16 bolt ! almost exact size of the shock mounting hole , if not I may have one around as I normally don't use them because I use 5/16 bolts !!

Those aren't standard that's why such difficulty locating. It maybe common oversea,but manufacturers love to have fasteners created for their own application. I would pursue it as a replacement part. I seriously doubt that to be alloy steel anyhow & which socket heads are.
I would do as others have said and replace all of them with a standard Button Socket Cap Screw....maybe in stainless steel for looks.

I guess I'll go with something different. *grumble grumble*:hammer:

Buy another shock and just use the bolt from it. :shrug:

 

[bikebudy]

Just get one from a bicycle shop OR off a dead bike.

 

[chipper]

Dude , I'll give you one !! I'm telling you I don't use em I know I have a couple laying around !

 

[Sandcracker]

If you do, Angelo, I'll definitely come grab it + whatever you want in return (beer, food, etc.) It's a 50 mm shank.

Anyone want to buy the other 4,998 from me?
