Help needed...TSDZ2 on Carrera Vengeance. M5 bolts too short.

[Andy Vickers]

Had fun and games getting in through my 73mm BB. Had to trim my cable guide and file the holding nut.
Problem now is the bolts are too short to reach the unit?

Is it just a matter of sourcing longer bolts?

Local B&Q or Screwfix

As @vidtek says, or if you’ve a local independent hardware/fixings seller you may be able to buy just a couple rather than a bag of 10-20. You’ll need spacers of the appropriate length or you could distort the mounting plate and potentially damage your BB

Longer bolts and spacers to fill the gap - I used stainless steel washers on my bbso2, 70mm BB so 3mm to fill for me.

Thank you. Had the kit for nearly a year but had a frozen shoulder preventing getting on with it

I'm sure my kit came with spacers and choice of bolts? (TSDZ2 36v on a Vengeance Ultimate).
