Mivv exhaust bolt

[Kenbob]

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.

Post up a pics of the problem or of the bolt you've got against the standard fittment or use that instead ??

 Bolt that came with the exhaust is too short, it's m8 70mm, it should be m8 80mm.
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.

I wonder if it's pot luck on the supplied bolts, the one with mine was about 30mm longer than needed.

That is sooooo Italian , I can imagine it in the mivv factory someone packing the boxes just throwing bolts in willy nilly    " 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

Sounded Greek in my head that did.

Same for me - if anything a bit too long.

That's how mine looks now with the 80mm bolt, stuck a nylock nut behind the first  nut though for belt and braces.
