Anyone recommend somewhere online i can get some?

I have corbeau sprints, on the side it says m8 x 1.25 but no length.

I found a site with google but unsure if they would come in the right size/length??

Does anyone know that the right size/length is?

What you want are M8 x 30 or M8 x 25 cap head bolts. You can get them from your local motor factors or order them from eBay. The ones you are looking at are the right ones but at ?3.50 + Postage for 4 is quite a bit more than ?2.70 + 70p poastage for 10 from eBay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/M8-X-30-STAINLESS-STEEL-ALLEN-CAP-HEAD-BOLTS-10-PACK_W0QQitemZ150156752172QQihZ005QQcategoryZ41500 QQcmdZViewItem). Thats enough to do both seats with two spare.

Thanks dar. Im guessing the M8 x 25 are the ones i would need? Sticker on the side of the seat says M8 x 1.25 (which i can't actually find on that ebay shop).

So can i order either of the m8 x 25/30 packs?? Sorry to be a pain i really dont want the wrong ones turning up lol

Thanks combsey but i need to get the for the weekend so i can my seats in. I've had them sitting in my bedroom for 3 months waiting to afford mounts/harnesses lol

Don't worry about the 1.25 its the pitch of the thread. Its basically saying use Metric co**** pitch which is the prefered pitch anyway.

M8 is the size of the bolt and the 25 or 30 part I was refering to is the length of the bolt. I took one out of my car and measured it, it was 30mm long. But M8 x 25 is more commonly stocked and would be perfectly ok to use.

If you need convincing or want to be 110% sure in your own mind. Go to B&Q and buy a M8 bolt and try it.

Ok thanks alot that clears everything up its just me being me again lol

I was thinking the 25/30 part was somthing to do with the thread size and getting confused.
