im in the middle of refurbing a set of bbs rs01's. im trying to locate new bolts and nuts. the size of the bolt is m7x35

however im getting it very hard to find someone to supply them. i can get m7x32. thing is i have measured the distance the bolt goes past the nut on the m7 its exactly 3mm. do you think it would be ok to use the m7x32's??

or if anyone can pint me towards a supplier of m7x35's in stainless steel i would be more than gratefull

thanks lads

Are you saying 3mm of thread protrudes from the nut?
If so (IMO) its not contributing the the strength of the bolt so it would be ok to use the shorter one.

As long as no thread shows in the nut when tight you should be ok with the 32mm bolt.

Try sending a PM to Wokke, I'm sure he is able to supply bolts.
