Title: Mivv exhaust bolt
Post by: Kenbob on 18 December 2016, 01:42:39 pm: has anybody successfully installed a mivv exhaust using the m8 bolt supplied, if so what wizardry did you employ, I can't get it to bite the nut on the other side of the footrest,it's just not long enough.
Poor measuring mivv personnel.

There is no way a 70mm bolt gives enough thread on the other side of the footrest hangar for the bolt to bite.
Didn't post pics as I was too mivved off. See what I did there.

That is sooooo Italian , I can imagine it in the mivv factory someone packing the boxes just throwing bolts in willy nilly :lol " fucking engleesh they vote a to leave a the eu , we show eeeem we give eeem the wrong a bolt "
I know , Piss poor way to attempt an Italian accent but it's the best I could do
