Make you own from 8 or 10mm ones lathed down, tap and die set job done.
7mm will not be 0.7mm pitch, way too fine, most likely 1mm or 1.25/1.5.
I used some 4mm ones yesterday to secure my new TPS(Ł25 NEW) on my sapphy they were 0.7mm pitch as had to tap holes.
My oe tps had the bottom 30 odd degrees missing, and the off the shel chips overfuel so much I didn't even notice.
After a tiny bit of mapping on the new ecu it is transformed, not finished though.

ps if you still have a problem PM me, and I'll post you some

Austen, have you tried Group Components in Waltham Abbey? 01992 715900

If not, cant you drill and re-tap to M8?

Default M7 Allen Head Bolts

If anyone is still looking for these I've found a website in Toronto that carries M7 x 20 , 30, 40, 50 from $4 to $6 each.

Default M7 Stainless Cap Head

Group Components will get them for you if they have none in stock, otherwise http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/E-M7-x-...se_B217L5.aspx
Nothing 40mm though.

ebay is your friend... i just searched for M7 bolts and found about 10 adverts or so... edited to say theyre all hex and not cap heads!

Have a look on yell.com for fastener companies near to you, they'll probably stock them or get hold of them sharpish for you.

Scooters is where you need to look

Vespa and lambrettas run with M7
