Petrol tank pivot bolt...? Replacement needed!

[Jamoi]

As above, it must be my super human strength... :-D

Do you know where I can get an un-broken replacement??

Maybe I should have posted this in the new "torque wrentch" thread... :-(

Just incase my old scary English teacher is watching...

Is that the long bolt that runs through the back of the tank - 10mm IIRC

How on earth did you manage to break that?? should be undo nut and push through & out?

Hello, replaced mine with allen bolt after tank was stolen, still have 2 more, can post or will be in Clare Suffolk this weekend

Wicky, I'd be lost without you mate thanks a million. Now I can follow the same procedure in the future. I hope the cricket isn't too soggy atm!

Eamonn, thank you kindly for your offer, I have got a bit of threaded rod with a nyloc nut either end, seems to be ok for now, but I will order the 10mm bolt from DSS. I rode through Clare for the first time last weekend, very nice there

Regards

Oh... And your tank was stolen??

Must have been a later/larger one!
