Help Required threaded bolt that holds on motor to actuator arm.

[Channel Hopper]

Well, I have dug dipper into the issue. Removed bolts from 4 actuator motors. 2 of them have Mx95mm bolts, one has M4x85mm bolts and one has threaded rods with imperial thread (very similar to M5, but M5 nut does not fit). I suspect that @butchyboy needs M4x95mm bolt, which I can send. But suspect that sending even a small package to UK will cost something like 5 EUR.

From what I can see the bolt required is one of two motor bolts that keep the cap and canister on top of the gearbox.

Usually the only time they break is during a dismantle, though I have seen them bend when the path between the magnets is not aligned with the locating pin on some actuators.

As @purplemarina has said, it is very easy to take M4 threaded bar, cut the proper length and use M4 nut to tighten. I have just done that with INOX M4 threaded rod. So, this method will surely cost much less than original bolt sent from the other place. @butchyboy , do not complicate simple things, just DIY.

@butchyboy & @RimaNTSS - but only if the female thread in the rest of the motor IS metric - and I suspect that it may not be!

there measured in mm on ebay,so 100mm would cover me,i can cut off the extra 5mm off the 100mm to correct 95mm length

If you can post a picture of the gearbox that requires the bolt it will be easier to find a suitable replacement from the spares box.
