Hi anyone able to help me ?
I’m looking for 4 rubber sleeves that fit over the bolts that go through the front callipers ( off my 81 st ) as 2 of mine are perished\damaged , z power has tried with some that was as close as he could find but they are to big as u can c in the photos , I don’t need any off the other rubber seals as these r perfect .
10 mm bolt
9 mm recess
10 mm length off rubber
Poss half or 1 mm thick
Any help greatly appreciated

Hi mark

those rubbers are not separately available. They deteriorate rather fast.
You can only have them if you buy new bolts, they're on.
You can use the bolts without the rubber sleeves or you can use rubber shrinking sleeve, you know the stuff that's used to isolate electric wires.

Thanks , I think I found a solution by cutting the larger one to length fitting it to the bolt and then rotated it on my light grinding wheel until it fitted just right it took a fair while as I was doing it slowly but I got it to fit and move as it should . Now to the other 3 .thanks for your help

try a cycle inner tube & glue it to the bolt if its the right thickness

I’ve ordered some 9mm pipe this will give me plenty to play with , as time goes by and parts become obsolete u have to overcome problems somehow
