Seriously Luigi? I've got lots of stainless M6 and M8 fixings waiting to go on the bike especially the bolts for the top and bottom of the rear shocks. And you have to make them M feckin' 7. M7?? I'll say it again...M7. Vafancula bastardo

I can sympathise with you I’m having an interesting time rebuilding a 1980 BMW airhead rear hub.

The calliper bolts use a 7mm allen key. Try buying a set containing a 7mm key.

This rings a bell - the early Tonti frames had M8, and I think the story was that the boss for the shock top eye had to be smaller because the shocks' specs / dimensions had changed. Hence the bolt had to be smaller.
