03 Orange Patriot shock fastener Campag seat pin type

gtd.

Any one know where I can get replacement shock mounts for my Orange Patriot?

They are like a Campag seat post binder bolt but longer and say Chromo Seat Pin on them.

There is a notch in the frame and swing arm mounting hole that one side locks into.

I tried the new type Orange now supply which are a threaded sleeve two Allen fasteners screw into but they tend the loosen up needing two Allen keys to fasten they also wear far quicker.

The original ones are a Campag style seat pin bolt with a bit sticking out like this

The have a 5mm hex at each end like this


The new ones Orange sell are these

The Northern Monkey

ask orange?

Asked but unless they have a stash of the old ones probably no good.

Tried my LBS's and most aint seen them before, one ran buy an old guy said he kept em years ago but not these days.

Just removed the fastener to measure and photograph


The top one is the original the bottom one the new version.
The original is 30mm wide the new type is 31mm wide both 8mm diameter

The different width must cause a tiny bit of play which is causing the slop in the shock mounts.

If I can get new 30mm original ones I'll buy a few as spares and new shock reducers and bushes.

The frame has two sets of mount holes, might fit a set of spares in the upper holes as I have my shock in the lower ones that way I'm less likely to lose them.
