    Either drill out the shocks to 14mm and use S14 bolts or go to B&Q and get some 1mm thick 14mm steel tube. It's 12mm on the inside. Cut it to (I think) 4x 30mm lengths and use them as sleeves.

    Funny seeing this thread pop up. A day or so ago I ordered some stainless steel tube off eBay for this exact purpose. Was a bit of a trial and error purchase but figured 12mm bolt to 14mm just needs some 1mm tube. Let's hope for an easy interference fit.
