Ohlins Upper Bracket Bolt - how have you tackled this?

Finally getting around to fitting the rear shocker and I've hit a problem.

The upper bracket doesn't align the same way as the original so the bolt won't go in flush.

I'll take a photo in a bit to illustrate.............

All suggestions welcome (well you know, within reason)

Think I've found the answer - on a GS site actually!!

The Ohlins original kit comes with a replacement bolt
M10*70

I'm guessing I can't just buy an off the shelf bolt as I'd guess the thread length will be important

So, now I'll have to order one of those. Bugger!

Any ideas on where to go to for this part 00439-09?

Sorry but i don`t understand, my shock went in with no hassle and i just used a ti replacement bolt the same size as the bm one that came out. linkage bolts from pro bolt did the trick.

Thanks for that.

Ti on order from Pro

Solved problem by jacking up the back end to compress and raise the shock in the mounting bracket.

Helped by a small amount of persuasion (mallet)

I was getting a little frustrated there
