Help finding axle bolt

[nafe]

Hey guys, im trying to replace the rear axle bolt in my 250cc.

Its a 15mm Diameter and roughly 260- 275mm long depending on what tensioners im using.

The only problem is all the bolt shops here only stock 12 , 14 ,16 mm bolts

so im trying to source one from an old jap bike (xr 250 for example)

Can anyone tell me or possibly point me in the direction of a site that has the specs on different year xr 250`s so i can match sizes?

Cheers guys

yeah ive asked a few people on ebay who are selling old jap parts, havent heard anything so far.

I tried 4 bolt shops this morning and 2 bike shops last saturday to no avail.

Il wait untill i get some sort of reply through ebay then head to a wreckers in altona as a last resort (i assume ebay will be cheaper).

cheers guys

Dam that sucks then.....hmmm could you machine a mm of the 16mm axle you can get, bit of a fark about but seems like your running out options, just an idea

Heres a picture of the bastard that keeps stuffing me around. Ive bent 1 axle bolt when i put on a bigger sprocket and didnt cut off the chain tensioner, Second bolt got severly bent when the chain tensioner cam got bent out of shape. So now im onto my 3rd.

1st i got from the seller on ebay, second i got from Laverton Market but now neither have any more nor are they getting any more
