Mine look like a Campag Seat post binder bolt but with a tab to stop it spinning in the frame/swing arm

There 8mm diameter need to check the length

Could I use Campag ones

Or where is the best place to get them from?

I can only find them on US sites and Orange show a different kind on their web site

    talk to the supplier of thr shock or the frame for a fitting kit or mounting hardware. Normally the frame supplier will have as they are all frame specific.

    This guy may be able to make you one, send him an email:

    He recently made me one (shock pin), excellent work and perfect tolerances, looks identical to the one that came on the bike.

    but you need two allen keys to tit and remove them where as the old seat binder bolt type have a tab that locks into the frame to stop it spinning

    The kind of binder bolt that fits this kind of seat lug

    Mine has lost some plating and has slight corrosion so wanted to fit new binder bolts and mounting hardware and shock bushes.
