Thunderbird 900 rear shock lower bolt

Hi there. I'm trying yo get hold of a new lower fixing bolt. Part number 330251. Apparently they aren't made anymore. Anyone sourced an alternative please. Thanks. Ian

 

Hi Ian, bare in mind mate it's just a bolt. Where do bolts come from? Hardware stores. Take the bolt and ask "for one like this".

 

Thanks big lad. I've tried a few sources but the original has a grease nipple built in. Unusual but I wanted to get an authentic part

 

Ah OK, understood.

I'm trying to identify the exact part you need and can't - is it on this diagram and if it is, what number?

 

Yes, that the correct drawing. It's number 3' but it doesn't show the grease nipple. It's listed as no longer available. It's an M12 x 119mm torx. Thanks

 

Actually, it might be number 7. I'll re-check the bike

 

IF it's no. 7 the part number is: PFKL1205091 and the cost is £ 7.04 (€ 8.45)+ vat .

 

It is number 7 and fowlers have them. Problem solved. Next time I won't listen to my triumph dealer!!!
Thank you

 

Excellent news !!!!!!

 

Ordered - T-Bird should be back on the road this week Complete with new YSS rear shock and shiny bolt!

 

Good stuff Ian, glad you got it sorted. Good shocks those YSS ones.

 

Surprisingly, also the least expensive for the Tbird at £289. I've just put some tec piggy back shocks on my Thruxton too so I'm ready to dial those in as well

 

Agree with YSS shocks. Better than Hagon
