Default Quick Release Bolts

Couldn't find any so I made some, well sort of. Need to use the rear acce

Bought some Quick Release Mountain Bike Bolts. Knurled release nut, cambered lever and some very nice shouldered washers. Got a stainless steel tube the same size as the Strut Bolts with the inner hole the same diameter as the bike bolts.

Would not recommend their use on the front as the forces may be a bit much and the thread inserts may melt but in the rear they should be fine.

Fitted the tube through the strut and bolt through the tube and hey presto quick release bolts for less than £5!!!!
