Thanks for that Drunkn Munky. I'll take a look at the weekend, I'll PM you if I need one and sort you with some cash for it and the posting/packing.

13mm is the ISO / DIN size head of the M8 bolt.

An M8 bolt will have a 12mm head if your using a JIS bolt to match the rest on the bike... (will stop you having to dig out a 13mm spanner/socket when every other bolt on the bike is 12mm)

So is the difference between the UK spec and the JIS just the different Hex Head size? Are there any grade differences too, as in material used to manufacture the bolt (different steel)? I've no idea what grade the frame is either, so I want to use something that will match and not react.

What length of bolt are we talking, allowing enough to secure the tax disc?
