nope, nobody does. I suspected at one point, however, that the brackets in the evo kit were the same dimensions as the 4-bolt ones. Try just changing the bolts to some m5s. You'll need them anyway.

you can get M5 bolts from just about anywhere - any hardware shop will have them - but make sure they are M5 and not something that looks thesame. go for 25 - 35mm long...
you'll need a spacer under the top part of the evo mount where the knuckle goes, try the little spacers that come with brake boosters, or a small pile of washers.... i have a feeling this wont work BTW - but have a go and let us know...

I think everyone should change their signature.

a) The bolt size is M5 x 0.8 The M5 refers to the "pitch" of the thread. In this case there are 5 "threads" per cm or a thread every 2mm. The 0.8 refers to the diameter of the bolt, yes thats right, its 0.8cm. b) I would not buy these from a hardware store, they are unlikley to have a wide selection of lengths with allen heads and in steel. Perhaps bunnings would but i doubt any hardware store. Personally i would recommend you look up bolts in the yellow pages. My first choice of bolt shops would be specialty fastners. c) www.google.comd) www.observedtrials.nete) www.yellowpages.com.auf) the end |

specialty fasteners is the way to go, i needed the same bolts when i got my echo pure frame a while back. as for the spacers, they are hard the come by, i ended up getting lucky and found someone who could give me some. i got a whole pile of washers but that didnt work because where the spacer sits on the 4 bolt mounts is recessed so the washers were too wide. if you could somehow file down the sides of a couple of washers that might work. otherwise the spacers that come with some boosters i would imagine would work fine.

yes that's what m5 * 0.8 means. The second number is the thread pitch. That is the default thread pitch for m5 bolts though (5mm outer thread diameter).
an 0.8mm bolt with a 2mm thread pitch would be...high torque?

yes simon you are right. Either way the one you are looking for is M5 x 0.8.

hight torque indeed. i think standard is about half that for 8mm.
