Mate has called with an issue with a Radon Swoop - it has lost the mounting kit for the top shock mount. Radon don't appear to be answering emails and Bike-Discount won't ship anything below €175 to UK.
I don't know the sizes so can't suggest he calls TFT for bits...does anyone know the dimensions or if these bits can be bought in UK?
2017 model if that helps, thanks.
Our 2019 Swoop fitted an Orange 5 bolt with two washers as an emergency fix on holiday.
Edit: Radon also share a lot of parts with Cube - shock hardware, dropouts etc.
TFT might know. If not can you not measure it?
Nothing to measure as the bolt kit fell out...it isn't his bike but a mate's son's. The son didn't notice anything unusual until he went to pull the bike out the shed and the shock wasn't in place and back end was moving around.
I ended up scrapping a Cube frame as the rear linkage had 'eaten' the plastic bushings in the rear.
Nothing to measure and I couldn't get the info out of Cube (UK or Germany, and I speak decent enough German) to get the dimensions. Old frame and no stock anywhere of a rebuild kit.
Put me right off Cube's and long-term unmaintainable frames.
Surely they can measure the frame. Instructions here;

I'm pretty sure I have a spare bolt at home from my old radon swoop, will let you know when I get home about 4pm
So is it just the bolt that's missing or the shock hardware as well?
I need to double check...he told me it was the bolt, then he said it was the whole kit but is now looking for the bolt...he is looking to order just the bolt though.
If you find yourself at a dead end, drop me a message and I could pop mine out and measure it (fnarr fnarr).
But you'd be better off getting the official spec, obvs.
Turns out it is the full mounting kit...he has contacted Radon and hoping to get some details/info or a way of getting the kit from Radon.
There is a few European stw members.
Could something be posted to them and then posted on again?
Entirely possible - if I ask the right people, but I'm trying to not get too involved as it'll end up being me doing the ordering and messing around...hahahaha...the info on here has proved useful - hasn't given the dimensions but has flagged a few things to be aware of which I've passed on, so thanks for the input from everyone. I'm hoping Radon do get back in touch with either what he needs to order from them or the dimensions so he can order from somewhere in the UK.
