[TR] bolt lengths used on Triumphs

Sujit,

Not sure what threads you are looking for, McMaster-Carr sells a 5/16”x1-7/8” bolt in SS or Grade 5.  But I think you’re on the right track, cut an 1/8’ off the end and move on.

I need a bolt HB815 which is at 5/16 x 1 7/8" long. 

Rimmer and TRF list this no. under a 2 inch bolt. I'm assuming you can't get 1 /78" long bolt anymore. I tried fastenal and Bolt Depot. Not tried mcMaster carr. 

The last time I needed one of these I bought a 2" bolt and cut a bit of the end.

I'm just wondering when a blind hole is drilled for a bolt, how much dead space is left at the end? Is there some rule of thumb?
