Thanks for the recommendation. I have already looked on CMSNL they don't have this bolt in stock, neither does David Silver or ebay

Looked everywhere for it! Loads of places sell the later engine mounting bolts which are smaller in diameter, I originally ordered one of those but its quite a bit smaller, my original one was so seized up that i had to cut it off as I'm restoring the bike

We have noticed a few diagrams in CSMNL which are wrong.

Yeah I've had a few items that have been listed for a bike and don't actually fit. I can kind of see why they might of got these bolts the wrong way around from the diagram (the position they are on the diagram) but looking closer they should of noticed the shape of each bolt

I wonder if you could adapt a triumph t120 cylinder head stud - they are approx 10mm and have a welded nut on.

Regarding Nabs suggestion
The guy selling is registered as Matts Machine shop so i assume he making them not selling originals.
Ask him if he can make you a bespoke bolt :)
It's likely he's got a CNC setup and knocks a 100 out every now and then so expect to pay a bit more for a one off.
