Worse case, try Toolstation for some stainless screwed rod. Cut to length with SS flat & spring washers + dome nuts looks good and you'll be suprised how cheap too. I have a big selection of all sizes and they don't cost a lot.
Toolstation usually has stuff in stock - Screwfix has to order.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Classic Suzuki in the Netherlands has some of the parts.

jabcd,
I will have a look, although I don't need pristine parts for what I have in mind.
Cheers Geoff

Last resort option…
There are a few US bike salvage shops with eBay listings under “misc” & “parts” that are collections of bolts & other parts. Someone in the US could buy one of those & mail you just the 3 mounting bolts to keep the postage to a minimum.

Hi jabcb,
That is an idea but I was hoping a nice person from the UK might have a set. I will call Pete Odell on Monday and see if he has a set amongst his copious stash of T/GT500 spares (or have a more thorough look through MY copious stash of T500 spares ).

Crooks Suzuki in Barrow in Furness used to do a lot with the t/gt500.

Hi Alan,
I know the folk at Crooks (and Robinsons Foundry) quite well having purchased numerous parts from them over the last 10 years. The bolts in question are no longer available from Suzuki though. However they might have some used ones so it's worth giving them a call. On my Seeley T500 a buddy made me a set using stainless steel. I was looking for an easier fix for the purpose I had in mind.

Have you tired DK Motorcycles http://www.dkmotorcycles.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they have imported and broken a fair few T500 always having something listed on ebay. Probably pricey though.

Hi,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will pursue them, or just find some substitutes from a Nut & Bolt shop.
