AFO5E exhaust bolt size?

[Jackstickley]

I just replaced my broken stock spree exhaust with an MLM side bleed pipe. I put it on, tightened it down at the engine and quickly found that i lost my only bolt that attaches the pipe at its heaviest point. image of the mounting points here. http://i.imgur.com/xe4IMXZ.jpg


Does anyone know the size and length of the bolts needed?

The only estimate i can gather is that they are probably 8x28mm bolts no guarantee though. hopefully i can pick them up at a hardware store tomorrow.

Before the auto shop closed I picked up 2 M8x20 bolts and as far as i can tell the top mount on my scoot is stripped and will need to be re-tapped and fit with a bigger bolt. the bottom mount hole appears to fit the new bolts but the wider exhaust makes it difficult to fit the bolt into the hole. tomorrow i will loosen the exhaust at the motor and try to position the exhaust so i can tighten down the one bolt.

I'm half tempted to superglue the other one in there and call it good (but i will resist the urge to act like my father for now.)

If you want to do it quick n easy just get a longer m8 bolt and put a nut and washer on the back side of the mount. Keep it short and it shouldn't hit the tire.
