Rear Shock absorber bolts

[beachguild]

Does anyone know what size the rear shock absorber bolts are, the ones on my bongo are seized and need to be cut off, so I could probably do with 4 sets and I don't have access to the bongo at the moment so can't measure them.

Cheers

As an aside, someone mentioned that ford ranger bolts fit fine

If you mean part number 9YA161401 you can try Googling for its availability but they don't normally specify the dimensions

Thanks Geoff, interestingly the Ford Ranger bolt comes up in that search although it has one character difference in the part number

I managed to source some bolts from Bongo Spares, Bongo Parts also had them. Both were from an old bongo, but have done the job fine. So hang on to those old bolts folks, new ones are rare unless anyone knows of an alternative part.

Good to hear that you sourced some.
Might be worth measuring these things up when people replace parts these days as they are only going to become rarer as time goes on and even recovered parts might not be adequate!
