Broken case bolt...HELP!!!!

[360 Cafe Guy]

(Bike is a '74 CB 360...)
Like an idiot today, I over- torqued one of the lower engine case bolts, and it snapped clean off...that cleaning was going oh so nicely till that happened! Well, now I'm gonna have to take the lower end off to get to stuck bit out, and I was wondering 1. Does anyone know where I could purchase the bolt I snapped or a set of bolts, and 2. Is there a gasket I need to purchase before I reassemble top end to bottom? Thanks,

Matt

That bolt you snapped is either an M6 or M8. It's a common thread but the length may be difficult to find. Any specialty fastener store should have one. Or you can try Inox in England.

The bottom end halves do not use a gasket. They are machined to a tight tolerance and a gasket would be too thick. Use liquid gasket like ThreeBond 1104 Permates.
