Shock mount in single shear - OK?
Hi chaps, just after opinions or even engineering facts on whether it's ok to mount my rear shocks on an M12 bolt in single shear, on the
axle.
Like AdamR has here:

Damper Mountings
Westfield rear dampers are mounted onto the top of the rear upright by a 7/16"UNF (11mm) bolt in single shear, so I think you will be
alright.

Use NEW bolts, preferably 12.9 rated capheads. How long are the bolts in question. I could probably post you a couple.

Many older bikes had a single shear stud fixed to the swingng arm for the lower mounting

Yes its not a problem. Too early in the morning to be bothered to do the maths, but if you do a search I have posted figures for the yeild and UTS of
various sizes of bolts in single and double shear over before.
