I tried my pro neck replacement bolts last night, didn't fit  :-[ got them off ebay, would love to know what bolt sizes they are for these stems as I have 2 now which need new bolts. Ain't going down the route of rechroming the bolts, ain't worth it, cheaper to buy new. Just wish I had someway of finding out the bolt size  :-\

I'd have thought you should be able to buy stainless steel ones from a fixing supplier, I've got all sorts off a local one for bikes & motorbikes, I mormally take them with me and get them to match them up :)

Stainless buffs up to a mirror shine :smitten:

UNF thread for Pro Neck/Tuf Neck I believe.  I took mine to a local nut and bolt place and got them to do a match for me, cost 50p each, polished stainless or black.  Was a place in Uxbrudge  :daumenhoch:
