Post by: OllyHall on December 09, 2013, 08:40 PM
Hey guys I need new hard ware for a set of gt power series cranks
I need the 4 bolts for the pinch area and the to end crank bolts which ithink will be the hard bit! They look like this

Those crank end bolts are like hens teeth, very rare things indeed.

I think they are M10 bolts, I would take a trip to an old hardware shop with the cranks & BB and see if anything fits.

I know that Primo Powerbite bolts DO NOT FIT, so don't waste money hoping they will.

I think the Primo's are the same size bro. Ask Costa though  :daumenhoch:

Read the bottom of my message Terry, Primo's do not fit.   ::)


I think Primo is M8 and GT M10 so 2mm difference.

It's the size of the head and how flat it is ithink is the trouble, I've looked online and can't see anything!

If you were to find a stainless steel dome head bolt with the right thread you could get someone with a lathe to flatten the dome

Olly is the top of that flat bolt totally flat or slightly domed? I have to look for this kinda shit all the time for work stuff so may be able to source some  :)

It's very slightly domed I don't think that matters really but more the thickness of it as it fits flush to the crank arm..

for the pinch bolts get down to cp fastenings, they will cost under £4

as for the spindle end bolts someone on the museum was making repo ones, message them and see if they still have some or atleast have the specs so u can find some here or have them made
