what are the specs/details of the original bolt, and how does it differ from what John has?
One thing I like about the high end bikes of the era is that they usually go with "standard" Campagnolo parts, thus avoiding the weird proprietary threadings and dimensions of the brand, which Raleigh is somewhat infamous for. Well, that usually works..... It wasn't too long ago that I learned that my 1987 Hetchins (built by Bob Jackson) has a weird seatpost bolt with Whitworth thread (IIRC) and takes a 7/32" allen.

Steve, nice detective work! I stand corrected ! I thought the ‘74 had the same fastener as my ‘72 which is in fact has the same weird one as your Bob Jackson. Did you find a source for replacements? Here is mine. Only tires have been replaced.
