Moderator Airhead Posted July 17, 2014 Moderator Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks tried them but no stock. S. you mean yamaha have made them obsolete, is that what you're saying?

NE0 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I had the same trouble trying to source one back in 2011 for my round tube swing arm. I ended up using an M10 Stainless Steel bolt about 20cm long with a long plain shank, I cut off the threaded part and drilled a hole in the side for a split pin. (surprisingly easy to drill with a new bit) It was a nice snug fit, no play, and is still there today. Works a treat. The plain shaft has a diameter of 12mm same as the original. Cost was a few pound on ebay i think I bought a pack of two. 1
Moderator Cynic Posted July 18, 2014 Moderator Posted July 18, 2014 You mean M6 neo. I did the same thing myself.
NE0 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Then I think we're not talking about the same part! Mines an M10 bolt for sure. Replacing part no 17 http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-dt175f-1979_model8692/pinwith-hole_9024012059/ On the upper swinging arm to shock pin. Its Not an M6 mm bolt.
Moderator Cynic Posted July 18, 2014 Moderator Posted July 18, 2014 Ah thought we were talking about the safety pins at the back of the sw'arm. Item 29 in mervs post. That item 17 has been a big bolt on mine for 20 years. Never knew what size.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 20, 2014 Moderator Posted July 20, 2014 I am confused about the part you need but is this it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-DT175-MX-Rear-shock-pin-top-2K4-/111258231209?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item19e781e1a9 or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nos-Yamaha-motorcycle-rear-wheel-pin-tt250-it490-oil-tank-dt125-mx175-dt175-/121336876381?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c403dcd5d
Simon46 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 None of those unfortunately. Am thinking of purchasing a swingarm pivot bolt and cutting it down to clevis pin length. S.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 23, 2014 Moderator Posted July 23, 2014 I don't have a clue of which part you are talking about. I did learn something about the DT175 today though. It has a reverse switch LINKY. PS: Before anyone tells me it is not a reverse switch, I already know that.
Simon46 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 It is the pin that holds the bottom of the shock to top of swingarm. S.
dt502001 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 As others have said a grade 8 bolt of 6 inch length will have a smooth surface for the first 3.5 inches so just cut the threaded part off and drill a hole for the cotter pin. I've got a bunch of old cylinder head bolts from cars that would work as all new cars use strech bolts they are only good for 1 use so any auto shop will have a bunch just stop and ask be more than strong enough for this application. Or check out a nut and bolt supplier they carry pins like that for hydraulic rams.
Simon46 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 Went to Brian S Pope Ltd in stockport Chheshire (Engineers Supplies) Got a M12X160 Capscrew with hex on head with two washers and splitpin. He said this is the stongest bolt we do. many thanks Guys for your help. Now for a dating cert/mot/insurance on vin. Oh and put it back together first as frame and swingarm has just come back from powdercoaters looking amazing! Simon
