Have I found a bodge job?
JustcallmeMrT:
Was looking at my engine hanger bolts today, and I think the lower long bolt has been replaced with an incorrect size by the P.O.
What I have is a bolt that is 380 mm long including the bolt head, 366 mm long without the head, and 12 mm wide. It seems far too long, and had a massive spacer on it previously that I can't see in the diagrams from CMSNL. It also seems sloppy in the mounting holes, like it should be a thicker bolt.
Can anyone tell me what the actual dimensions should be for a 1977 F2?

It is too long because the foot pegs go on the ends. The package arrived today. The grinding paste was a free sample, you should of kept it.

Glad you got the package on time. I looked at the width of the foot pegs, still seems long, and cant figure what the spacer is for. I know theres a small 10mm spacer on the inside, but this is about 50mm wide! Is 12mm the correct diameter?

I've been in contact with Tina - hope you get some kickbacks for giving her all the info for my fasteners!

You should have two long hanger bolts. 1 for the top that has a spacer that is a strange shape with two flanges. The bottom bolt also has a spacer. The spacers are 4 and 5 http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550f2-super-sport-550-four-1977-england_model17121/partslist/F26.html#results
