Snapped my saddle bolt, not sure what to look for........

[Minty]

Have attached a pic and need to replace it. What is it called or am I looking to have to just use a normal nut and bolt and see if that holds (have one in there at mo).

Any help mucho appreciated.

standard M8 allen bolt.

The "bolt" is called a "socket head cap screw.".

EDIT: The "nut" is called a "cross dowel".

Many thanks. Had a browse on eBay and the penny dropped that these things are commonly used in flat pack furniture so I had some in my garage pot of nuts & bolts.

Made of a soft steel but will keep me rolling until the titanium ones, that I have just ordered, arrive.

New one fitted. M5 titanium offa eBay. Oh, and don't use the furniture ones, they are too soft and get rounded and have to be hacksawed off.
