snapped the head on the lower shock bolt. after doing a fair amount of searching both here and google, that bolt seems to be non-existent. found a thread from a number of years back that the bolts were discontinued.

found a shoulder bolt at mcmaster-carr with the same dims. it is class 12.9 steel so it is pretty hard.

has anybody has recent luck with bolt kits from that era bike?

received the bolts from mcmaster-carr. dimensionally, it is an exact fit. it is steel and not the alloy of the oem. the p/n for reference is, 90782A125

Nice work on the follow up. I have a friend with this frame. Always good to have a searchable reference.
