Vintage Stronglight crank bolt sourcing
Hello All,
Just picked up a 1973 Raleigh Super Course this week.
Seems to be all there minus the Brooks saddle.
Looking at the crankset it is made by Stronglight but I need to source one of the 3 bolts that hold the crankset to the chainring.
Does anyone out there have a good parts source for this?
Please PM me if you do and Many Thanks!

thread is 7.0mm X 1.0
no need for an official Stronglight bolt or one through the cycle trade
anyplace which offers metric bolts will suffice...

McMaster-Carr. Not sure how long you need. Also, I don't know what the shipping cost would be.

The three on the right are longer than the three on the left and a bit narrower. Could you measure the length of the bolt you need?
Both sets came from cranks in this tub:
There are likely some 116bcd steel Stronglight in that pile, and I can check these bolts on one of those.

where did you look? The big boxes are useless for this you need to go to Ace, Do it Best, or True Value. Maybe a Mom and Pop auto parts place, you know the kind that still has a real machine shop out back.
