Cheers, needed a new one for a mate who's just put a new pipe on, that has a support bracket that bolts to the lower shock mounting bolt, however the original one was too short to 'safely' hold the bracket, so he bought a new one from a local fixixngs supplier for 50p :lol:

They're M9 :shock: :shock:

I don't know if they changed them with the late PXs but all the pre-80s large frames I've ever owned they are always M9.

226 Vintage have manufactured a longer, high tensile version especially for mounting expansion pipes. They're not cheap but designed especially for this job: https://226vintage.com/store_iv.php

Agreed.
That's not going anywhere...
