The dimensions below will help you identify what you have and/or what you need. Crafting your own replacements is certainly one good option. If you go this route, rods threaded on both ends are - by far - the easiest way to go. In the past, I have used McMaster-Carr part number 5544T33 for strength (I zinc plated the finished product for corrosion resistance). An alternative might be McMaster-Carr part number 1274T22. Stainless steel would not require any protective plating and I suspect it may be strong enough for the job (though I am no metallurgist and I really can't say for sure one way or the other).
Foot peg models
Two identical hex head bolts are used.
- Front and rear mounts (MG# 12429600 or MG# 13429600): 12 mm × 1.5 mm × 333 mm
Footboard models
Some models were fit with two threaded rods while other models were fit with two hex head bolts. Personally, I prefer the threaded rod arrangement as it makes footboard fitment a bit simpler. Either configuration will work fine.
Threaded rods:
- Front mount (MG# 13429540): 12 mm × 1.5 mm × 360 mm (20 mm long threads at each end)
- Rear mount (MG# 13429640): 12 mm × 1.5 mm × 343 mm (30 mm long threads at one end and 22 mm long threads at the other end)
Hex head bolts:
I've never located a part number for the front bolt, though the part certainly exists.
- Front mount: 12 mm × 1.5 mm × 350 mm (20 mm long threads)
- Rear mount (MG# 12429600 or MG# 13429600): 12 mm × 1.5 mm × 333 mm (same as foot peg model above)
