Greg,
Rimmers list this part (119142) as "Wishbone Bolt". If a bolt is a standard
off-the-shelf item they usually list it by thread and length, not
application, so from this we can infer that this is a special that should be
acquired from a Triumph parts dealer.
I make it a guiding principle of any work I do (other than unplanned
emergencies!) ALWAYS to replace EVERY nut and bolt I undo. Partly because
the old ones can (and often do, as you have found) get damaged in the
removal, partly because the old ones may have weakened over the previous 25
years, and largely because I don't want to have to fight back on a nut that
I already had to fight off, and when I have to re-visit the area in a few
years time I want to remove a 5-year-old nut, not a 30-year-old one!
Given how cheap nuts and bolts are, I strongly recommend this approach to
all of you!
Richard & Daffy
