I am just going to swap the clamp that takes a standard M6 bolt
M5 is more common for clamps with pivoting nuts as M6 takes up too much space, some of the weight weenie clamps use M4 which is certainly strong enough in a 12.9 grade as long as the nut is of equal quality.
ebay is full of purple ones of the right general design, from under £2

You are absolutely right. Its an M8 thread with M6 head .. ballache. Not a huge fan of Hope either, I just chose it for vanity purpose. I am just going to swap the clamp that takes a standard M6 bolt. Know any? Purple would be nice ;)
