In the process of re-building my Bronson C MK1 and need some new bolts, the ones which run through the rear linkage and hold the shock in place.
Having has a look at the tech sheet they appear to be 22mm x 8mm:

Has anyone used a normal allen head bolt before or does it have to be the ones supplied by Jungle?
I've replaced with standard bolts before. Just get high tensile ones with a grading eg 8.8 or 10.9 rather than cheap unknown ones. Also try to get ones with a partly plain shaft rather than fully threaded although that's less of an issue (and probably impossible) for ones that short
They're a bit more difficult to get in shops I find, but on the other hand, just contact Jungle and they'll send you some. I snapped one, mentioned it to them, they sent some free bolts.
Thanks guys. I tried to contact Jungle when I needed some last year but they never replied.
Would this be OK? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bolt-Base-Tensile-Socket-screws/dp/B00SN34FFW
Anyone know if the above would work?
looks like they would to me
I never buy the bolts from the bike shops as they cost pence if you have a shop nearby- I reckon about 10 p per bolt but i would still have to post them to you so not much saving
Luckily I have a specialist nuts and bolts place so they have everything needed - sometimes some obscure italian or american thread options cannot be purchased here
Looks like the sort of thing.
Out of interest, the spare one I've got from Jungle is marked 'THE A2-70' bolt. A2-70 from what I can tell is a stainless steel grading. Which is great, until you snap one and have to drill it out. Tough going drilling SS 😀
Thanks guys. I might try my local DIY shop tomorrow and if none there order the above.
