No idea about end cap but the long screws that hold them together are no longer made. I had to get a machine shop to make me some and they charged me what bike bandit showed for same item. $2.50. They are 5x115mm with .8mm pitch.

Couldn't you just go to the hardware store and get a length of threaded rod, cut it to the size you need, and 2 nuts?

 

[mortiki]

If you can find some 5mm .8mm pitch metric allthread you could do that for 2 of the screws and thats a good idea if you need one but I needed all three and one is blind. Come to think of it that would work if you could find metric threaded allthread but not around here. Then you could just screw it into the head and put a nut on bell end. Good idea Emil.

 

[Emil]

It doesn't have to be metric.

I never even considered those parts would be so hard to come by or I wouldn't have pitched that starter I blew the armature out on in the trash!

 

[Emil]

Suppose to keep all the nuts and bolts. Never know when you might need 'em.

Yes I do, they mounted on the lower left side of my bike :cheeky: and staying there :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

I cant get 5mm theaded rod in a metric country so I reackon you got no hope in the US (6mm and 4mm no problem, just not 5mm)

If you can get some 13/64 steel rod and a 5mm x .8 thread die you could make you own

Where to buy 13/64 steel rod??? My local camping and outdoor store has 5mm x 200mm tent pegs for 90cents each they say there 5mm but I checked them and they are really 13/64

:idea: I have a 5x.8 die and a new idea for a item to list on Ebay soon. :laptop: lets see $3AUD is about $2.25USD plus $15 for P&H, oh yeh this one's really gunna take off :cool!:
