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

They're M9
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:
