What is thread size on top triple clamp bolts(14mm) for 79/80 RM's (same as other RM's,PE's etc) anyone know??

Kiwi, I take it you have given us the spanner size     thread should be a 10mm x 1.25 pitch

The guy at the bolt shop might be the one thats weird but keep in mind that someone might have put Whitworth bolts into your bike.
Odd bolts in bikes isn't that weird
I have even come across Whitworth bolts in moderns as well

Your triple clamp will be in one hell of a mess if that is the case so i hope not.

Oldfart's correct, M10 x 1.25 (metric fine). Fine threads equal higher tightening torques. Don't forget some anti-sieze compound on these aluminium components to protect threads and stop possible pick-ups and consequent stripping.
