    Hello,

    I am attempting to change the ignition on my XJ 900 S diversion, the old one is getting worn and difficult to turn at times. I have it all apart but didn't realise it used shear bolts to hold it on.

    I am hesitant to carry on without knowing what spare bolts I need. I can't find anything about the bolts apart from they are 8mm diameter and maybe 65mm long.

    I also need to find a female T spade connector terminal for the wiring as someone has put bullet connectors on the brown and red battery wires.

    Any help or advice is appreciated
