Gash

Early casings use a 9mm x 65mm long
Late casings use a 10mm x 70mm long

Ebay has plenty of part threaded bolts at M10 x 75 or 80 and beyond for coppers

M9 is the problem !

If its M9, then you need to get a GS150 rear shock bolt from Germany. I have tried everywhere in the UK and it seems the Germans are the only ones that have them.

I`d change the bush and go to the 10mm - much better if you require a longer bolt - bushes/sleeve are only about six quid

then you can get the exact size bolt easily in the future
