Went to the local Fixings shop today and got a M14 x 120mm Bolt & Nut for £1. Did the job perfectly. Will be changing all 4 this weekend for new ones.

When it comes to shock absorber bolts I think anything other than the ones designed for the job is a bit stupid

Fair enough I will bear that for next time, I thought about it when I needed one but just it was best getting the proper one for the proper job.

Would 12.9 Grade be a little OTT? I prefer the Allen Cap bolts to the hex bolts I have anyway so could I upgrade them all to 12.9 allens without a problem?

see my reply above
at least 6.0.
no harm to use higher grade but it just cost you more
