Pivot Axles and bolt set for a 1996 Proflex 856

[vblacket]

Hello all. I am trying to locate a set of right and left pivot axles for my 1996 Proflex 856. On a ride last week the bolt that was holding the rear swing arm on snapped in two. This also bent the pivot axle and now the thread is off. Does any one have any of these spare parts or perhaps know where I could find some. I really love to ride this bike. Its a shame this small but important part has taken it off the trail. Thank you.

Have a look at this diagram:

Is it part #6 that broke?

Are parts #1 and #2 damaged?

If it's just part #6 then you can replace this with any Hi-tensile Bolt that is the right length and thread.

If it's parts #1 and #2 then you're a bit stuck! I've never seen these as spare parts, but our new friend "UKREG" who posted on here recently may have some in his garage, I'm planning on visiting him when he's back from holiday and having a dig!

Yes you are correct it is parts #1, #2, and # 6. Well I hope he has it. Thanks

I just finished the rear swing arm sealed bearing conversion on mine, so it just so happens I have all 3 parts you need that I no longer need.  Send me a message about them!

I would love to be able to get those parts from you. I will spring for any shipping and whatever you think is reasonable for the parts. You made my day I have been unable to ride for about 2 weeks. Lame! Anywho I could get you any contact info you need via email. Thanks a million.
