I have the original mudguards to refit.
What size / thread screw / bolt do I need to fit them to the frame ??

Very nice.

Some super-useful information here: "Frame Numbers" https://nkilgariff.com/frame-numbers/

Also info about the Electron and other CB models on another page in the same site, with catalogue images etc. Brilliant resource.
