[QUOTE="RePhil, post: 502765, member: 14491"] As above. Just a pointer for future reference:- Metric bolts usually come in standard sizes. M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, ... Usually in even numbers from here. The only other variable is that they are sometimes 'fine' pitch. You will know when you hold it next to others. (Just to prove myself wrong - the 2 screws which hold the drum to the hub are M7. Little buggers) Also metric bolt lengths are measured from under the bolt head (i.e. Excluding the head). This may be why you thought the supplier's bolts were too short. I hope this helps. Phil. [/QUOTE]
