Yeah, it’s just an m6 8x80mm 8x90mm shoulder bolt.

So I bought an M8 80mm bolt and it doesn’t fit, because the MBS bolt is 90mm.

Dang, that’s what I get for regurgitating what I find on the internet. In my defense, this misinformation is straight from the source:

I should have just gotten off my lazy ass and measured :man_facepalming:

Sorry for the confusion guys. We’ve always spec’d our shoulder bolts based on the diameter and length of the shaft (not including threaded section). But I see how that’s confusing. Pic below to clarify.

. I updated that original post as well just to be safe.

Why do you make the thread M6 instead of M8? The bolt broke exactly on the thread collar.

They’ve always been tapered like that (since the 90s). All shoulder bolts are. The breakage is weird. Could be a fluke but I’ll keep an ear out about this just in case.
