If its similar to the pipe on the 400 I bought a length from this place via e-bay.

IIRC the sample was long enough - they do a number of diameters less than £3.

Oddjob:
Got a few of those, I'll pop one in the post for you. PM me address, not 100% sure I have it.

Hey All,

Have a slight issue ion the upper crank case.
I seemed to have damaged part of the thread for the m8x100 bolts.

There's still thread there to engage, but I think I'll need longer bolts. I'm thinking 120mm should do it.

Has this happened to anyone before?

The pic shows a normal thread on left, and the one on the right is about 20mm lower before engaging thread.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I always have fears about having your issue on older bikes.

Have you tried putting a tap of the original size down the hole?

juitz:
Yeah put a tap in and it's ok, just looks  like the first 15mm of thread are now gone.

The hole is 35.6mm deep, so assume there must be available thread to use.
