Hi folks, having a bit of difficulty getting one of the above.
I'm unable to progress on the rebuild until I can find one.
Has anyone on here got one spare or know where to get one?
Many thanks in advance, Alan

Hi Mike, the total length is 9.5" with 1/2" of thread needed on either end.
I did wonder about cutting a thread on some steel rod but thought better as I'm told it has to be very high tensile.
Is the one pictured spare? Might get me out of a spot.

Mark, tried RT as first port of call but he's out of stock. Cheers.

Thanks for all comments.
Mike or Mark if you're at Silverstone this weekend we could meet.

Just had a look at the one now fitted to the car and gave the exposed end a centre punch to get an idea of the grade, while I'm not qualified to guess the grade I can tell it's not a very high grade as the same centre pop on a 12.9 bolt left half the size indent. Maybe the one I have is ste.
