You know, the pair that hold the shock in the frame.

I need 35 and 45mm ones if anyone can help to fit a manipoo shock

I h ave tried CRC and Goldtec but they seem to have none and i did remember someone previously saying they were a pig to get hold of

Or if anyone has a 45mm one spare ill buy it from you

Have you tried your local ironmongers or B&Q?

In my experience they are nothing special

Get them from Custom fastners in Wales.Its all high quality motorbike stuff.What you will need to do is find out how long the unthreaded part is,ie,the part that supports the shock eye,and then cut down the bolt to fit.Buying a bolt that is the correct length will only give you a shank that supports one half of your shockeye.

Its for a prophet with a swinger 4 way or 3 way air.

I can bodge it with an old bolt and a nut as a spacer but thought id try get a new one, however is doesnt seem as straight forward as you would expect.

Its the unthreaded type i need, where the bolt screws into the inside of the rod that runs through the bushing thingybob, a bolt will make the shock knock so it needs to be pretty bang on
