Royal Enfield 148252/E Collar Bolt M8 – Foot Control / Footrest Pivot Bolt for Interceptor 650 & Continental GT 650 (Genuine OEM)

The Royal Enfield 148252/E Collar Bolt – M8 is a genuine OEM fastener used in the foot control / footrest assembly of the 650 Twins. This precision-machined collar bolt secures key components like the brake pedal / footrest pivot, helping your Interceptor 650 or Continental GT 650 maintain a tight, play-free feel at the rider controls.

Unlike generic hardware-store bolts, this M8 collar bolt is designed to match the exact shoulder length, thread pitch, and hardness specified in the official Royal Enfield parts catalogue for the 650 Twins. That means proper alignment of the pedal and footrest, smoother operation, and reduced risk of premature wear on bushes, pedals, or brackets.

Whether you are rebuilding damaged foot controls after a fall, replacing a corroded / seized bolt, or restoring a 650 Twin to factory-fresh condition, using the correct 148252/E bolt ensures OEM-level fitment and safety. This part is supplied brand new, direct from the Royal Enfield parts network – not local or “universal” hardware – making it ideal for riders, workshops, and restorers who want zero guesswork and maximum reliability.

Pair it with genuine pivot bushes, pedal springs, and clevis pins for a complete, long-lasting repair of your Interceptor 650 or Continental GT 650 foot control assembly.

FAQs

1. Will this 148252/E collar bolt fit my Royal Enfield Classic or Meteor 350?
No. This specific bolt is listed in the official microfiche and dealer parts lists for the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 foot controls only. It is not confirmed for Classic, Bullet, Meteor, Hunter, Himalayan, or other models. Please check your exact parts catalogue before ordering.

2. Where exactly is this bolt used on the 650 Twins?
It is used in the foot controls / footrest assembly, as a collar-type M8 fastener that locates and secures components such as pedal pivots and footrest hardware, as shown in the official “Foot Controls” diagram for the 650 Twins.

3. Is this a genuine Royal Enfield bolt or a local copy?
This is a genuine OEM Royal Enfield part, sourced through the official spares network. The part number 148252/E and description “Collar Bolt – M8” match factory price lists and microfiche documentation.

4. Can I use a normal M8 bolt instead of this collar bolt?
Using a generic M8 bolt is not recommended. The factory collar bolt has a specific shoulder length and design to correctly locate the pedal/footrest components. A generic hex bolt may introduce play, misalignment or faster wear on bushes and brackets.

5. Do I need any other parts along with this bolt?
If you are repairing crash damage or heavy wear, it’s wise to inspect the pivot bush, pedal, footrest bracket and return spring. Replacing worn bushes and springs along with the collar bolt will restore the smooth, precise feel of your 650 Twin’s foot controls.
