Bryanj:
Yup but i think its a shouldered bolt so no threads where if fits through the metalastic bush

juitz:
Hi Brian,

This is the bolt I have and I THINK is the one shown in the parts list, it has a very small shoulder which is why is am unsure as the thread sits inside the bush.

Oddjob:
Looks like you've got the rear shocks on the wrong sides. The bolt head goes on the outside, swap left to right etc and they should line up better thread wise.

I always prefer to fit a flat washer under the head of that bolt to stop it digging into the damper body. If doing so use a 10 x 35mm bolt

I also can't see any D washers in the top yoke?

Bryanj:
US 550 didnt have the D washers i think

Oddjob:
Correct Bryan, saw it was a 500 frame and thought it must be a 500, keep forgetting about the 550K as we never got them. Wondered why the flanged nuts looked 7mm.
