If you have rear discs, use a bolt from the caliber, if not you could try a front caliper bolt.

thanks guys, got a M12 from bnq and it fitted (blind luck) job is done now, stub pin wasnt too bad after a good sand and wire brushing with a dremel. hardes part was banging the bearing in, the torsion bar would not move so I had to free it up from the other side and do the work on the trailing arm with the torsion bar fapping around :/
Who knows how long it will last:P

Banged the inside bearing in with a piece of wood (it has a lip on it) the outer bearing I banged in with wood untill flush and finished it of with a piece of 52/51mm bar, it sits inside the trailing arm about 1/4 of an inch.
