Hi Keith apologies for the late reply. I am having issues with my camera and uploading. I hope to have the pictures transfered tomorrow. I have already taken them but the computer is not playing atm.
The dimensions are, 8.0mm rod which is 230mm long in total which includes the round ball end. The diameter of the ball end is 28mm. The length of the thread is 15mm.
I have two pictures for you. One is of the rod and the other is of the handbrake slot on the left rear wheel gaurd.
Like I said I hope I sort it by tomorrow.
Cheers
Al
