[Closed] Chainset pinch bolts - where from?

I can't find them anywhere. Do you have any idea?

I need to replace the pinch bolts from my commuter HT2 chainset (105 double, FC R600). I think they're M6 thread, 20 mm length, 5 mm hex head and have a small head to fit into the recesses on the crank arm.

Anyone able to confirm? (I can't take the bolts out as they're almost rounded so need replacements to put in!)

Cheers

I've being using a HT2 XT chainset with 'normal' M6 bolts in, rather than the originals, for years now. It's been that long that I can't remember, which is a worry, what happened to the original ones...

Anyway, they're fine. If you've none, your LBS (or hardware shop) will have some and may even saw them down to size for you.

Normal M6 bolts won't fit in to the counterbored recess as the head is too big. I won't be abwe to get to my LBS till a week saturday, so the creaking will have to continue!
