Just broke the bolt on my rear shock mount - set my torque wrench too high ... dhhhh!

The "bolt" is made up of an M8 rod with internal threads for M4 bolts at either end.

Where is the best place to get a replacement? Should I just get onto TF Tuned?

It will be specific to your frame, not the shock.

I always start at the lbs for this kind of stuff and nearly every time they have what I'm looking for in the back of a greasy drawer. Sometimes ebay comes up trumps too and have phoned dealers to get parts too.

If you can get the broken bit out you may get away with a new bolt

Thanks, so you think I should contact Cotic rather than someone like TF Tuned, who would machine a bolt to my frame mount dimensions. Just thought I may be able to buy the hardware I need elsewhere.
