I’ll guess it’s not a special bolt, is it off a Td5?

Ah right, the bolt is : FS106161L and the washer is : FRC886

The bolt (set screw) is just an M6x16mm bolt (set screw). Aftermarket offerings are predominantly flanged bolts (set screws!), but the original set-up had the thick washer. Doesn’t matter either way.

No worries.
The bolt and washer is there to stop the ball from lifting out of the socket.
The hex head bolt (or set screw) is an M6x16mm and the washer is an M6x14x1.5mm form C.

Beacuse you are going into alluminium it's advisable to get BZP components rather than stainless.
There is little force on the bolt/washer so no need to over tighten.
Pleanty of waterproof grease (Morris K99) slathered over the ball won't go amiss either.
Adjusting the spring pressure on the gear shift is one of the most noticable things you can do, it makes the gearchanges really schweet..

Thanks! I’ve got plenty of these in a tin so have sorted it. I changed up for a slick shift and adjusted the springs and it’s changing very nice. The throw on it was wide to say the least before.The bolt and washer is there to stop the ball from lifting out of the socket.
