Are you joking? He knows what he is doing , leave him alone.
Corey , how does compression bolts look like? Are they just one piece of threaded rod? Or maybe a long bolt with few threads on both ends?
just the head of it
but I need it 7 1/2 inchs long i belive its 5mm allen key so that makes the threads metric? idk much about bolt but it has to thread into a starnut, i though about getting a threaded rod but i need it o have a head a threaded rod only has the two nut you can but on either end, but yea please see what you can do it would be so great, Thanks
there very hard to find, andrew custom ordereds them

Alright so the bolt is M5 ( 5mm diameter / thick ) and 7 1/2 inches long am I right? Give me about 1 weeks time and I will tell you if I can find it or not. I'm probably going to have to special order too.

Hey Corey ,are you sure you need the compression bolt to be 5mm? Measured both my 1 1/8 star nuts which came with my Chris King and old FSA , it requires a 6mm bolt , not 5mm. Are you very sure you need 5mm?

I think what he means is that the bolt takes 5mm allen keys.
And if you can find the right bolts, i'm gonna order one. So put me down for one compression bolt.

If the bolt that fits your star nut is 6mm then use that beucase I'm prboally wrong about 5mm basue I dont know anything bout bolts, but it would be real nice if you get it as soon as you can and I still have that fork do you want an old A fork or pro model and the starnut should be coming in this week beucase the company said they were back ordered but they were coming in on the 13th some i should have them this week so tell me if you still want all this stuff. Thanks

Look at the very bottom of the page:
http://www.a2a4.co.uk/acatalog/A2A4_M6_Hexagon_Head_Bolt__A4_PART_THREADED_425.html
Is 180mm long enough?

are u sure its long enough?
you said b4 that it needed to be 200-220 mm long, y would 180 work?
also, it says hex bolt, isnt it is just a regular bolt head, not the allen wrench one i dont think?

It's a hex wrench bolt. It doesn't matter though. You can just use a hex wrench instead of an allen wrench.
