Looking for Slotted Bolt for Solo Rider / Pillion Seats

I'm going to be changing the original dual seat on my Speedmaster for a solo rider seat and solo pillion seat. After reading various threads on the web, I've read that I'll need a slotted bolt / bolt with a double collar which tightens the solo rider seat down and then the pillion seat's front fixing bracket slides over the bolt and pulls back locating into the slot securing it in that position.

Example :-

Can anyone let me know where to get said bolt???

Cheers!!

 

Thanks for the post / link, Pieman.
I was hoping to source a bolt here in the UK. There's plenty of guys run the solo rider seat / pillion seat set up and they must get the bolts here in the UK???

 

Thanks for the reply DD, however, that bolt does not have the double shoulder / slots which the pillion sat hooks over and onto. The ones you linked to are good id it was just the solo rider seat I was going to use.

Thanks again!

 

I looked in World of Triumph and found this:- http://www.worldoftriumph.com/trium...lock_01=&block_02=100064380-0-2&block_03=2991

However, the diagram is not too detailed regarding the bolt, number 2 in the diagram..

 

Alisdair, I think you should be OK with a straight M8 bolt which is long enough to take both brackets. Such a the ones Dosers Dad linked to in post 4 here.

Over on Triumphrat.net there's some chat about having to file the Corbin bracket (this may be regarding a Corbin pillion seat, I'm not sure). Also, it's easier to access the underside nut when the weight is off the rear end by using an auxiliary stand such as this one

Still looking for info on where I can find the slotted / shouldered bolt specifically for the pillion seat bracket to locate onto.....

 

Good points MickEng. ....and no, I've not contacted the seller to see if they are getting more stock. I will do. I think I was hoping someone might know of another seller who has them in stock. I will also contact my local Triumph dealer to confirm if the bolts sown in the diagram are the one I'm after. Good point re TEC too!

Cheers!

 

If pillion seat is being fitted as well a solo rider's seat, a different bolt is required, as per my opening post.

 

Thanks for the offer dilligaf. I'd certainly like to take up your offer....

thebiglad .. I've thought about that, i.e. using a small diameter tube. I've also looked at shouldered / sleeved washers, however I could only find nylon and not steel.

 

I could come up for it, or probably easier if you post it. I'll cover costs by using PayPal if you use that???

 

I've sent you a private message.....

 

Thanks to dilligaf, I'm now sorted with the slotted bolt. He very kindly gave me one (and also a rear rack). Thanks again, fella, much appreciated !!!
