Trek Fuel EX 8 shock mount bolts

EBO13

Does anyone know if any decent after-market bolts are available anywhere for a Trek Fuel EX 8 (2008) model?? The ones that come with the bike have a poor allen key head and i have already had to get one surgically removed when the head rounded as i was trying to get my shock off to service. Trek should offer better quality replacements for these bolts so you don't have to risk ruining things when you want to service your bike! Any help appreciated on bolts sizes and available stronger replacements (like titanium)

Hi there

I've had the same problem, so I replaced those two bolts with steel ones heavy I know, but they last forever.

Here's where I got them from:

its an M8 1.25 pitch 60mm bolt that you need.

Or you could try this for an allumium bolt:
