Guys, anyone any idea what size the pins are in these babies???????
Been down the fixing wholesalers who reconed they were M6 but ony sold them in 50's!!!!!!! got home and tried an M6 roofing bolt to check and it's different, can't get an M6 nut on to the bolt so am at a loss as to the size :tickedoff:
The allens are a little rounded off and don't fancy getting one stuck in the wheel so can't ride me acid house bike till have sorted the pins!!
Any ideas :'(
Pics just in case :daumenhoch:

you could do what i did ,go to industrial estate or engineering company they can check the thread gap and pitch and tell you what to ask for unless someone else can help.

I've sent you a pm with a contact

you have 2 types(or more ???) of m6, it is to do with the thread. one is tight and the other is looser. imm and 2mm i think.
i just tried an m6 and it don't fit, it's an imperial i'm afraid.

Have since found after 2 hours going round engineering places, its an american thread and its a 1/4 USC, I just need to find one in super tensile cap head!!!!!
One more place to try in the morning and then its email time!!!!
