Just a quickie. I cant remember the size and pitch of the bolt that secures the damper assy on a MAR. Anybody know as i've found a pair of forks in bits i had forgotten i had, having a sort out in the shed, and want to put them back together and use in one of the "projects".

Cant find the thread pitch guage

Not sure till I check, but I think the last one's I changed were m7x1

Sorry might be my fault but i know M7 x 1mm is the size for the screws that retain the rear shocks but the bolt that goes up through the bottom of the front sliders to secure the internal damper rods is the bolt size i am after.

Sorry if my original question caused any confusion.

sorry my fault for not reading the post clearly

That bolt is an m8 allen key cap head, 25mm long 1.25 pitch

As you may know you'll need a longer bolt (m6 i think) in the oil drain hole to secure the damper unit or the whole unit spins as you tighten (or undo) the m8 bolt

Hope this helps
