Extra Long Eye Bolts

Has anyone fitted clip on shoulder straps to an Avon, Our Racer is nearly finished but we cant seem to find any eye bolts with thread long enough to go through the crossmember behind the seat, fro memory the box section is 2" deep so would need an eye bolt with a 2 1/2" thread to give enough to tighten onto. I have managed to find one lying around the workshop but everyone i talk to seems to think that 2" is the maximum length made?????

Could you use an M12 eye nut and put a bolt into it from underneath?





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If the slot in the harness bracket is 3" which according to the description it is, then this bolt isn't far short of 3" either.
