Has anybody found a source for longer a-arm bolts ? I recently had to fix the wallowed out holes for my lower, front arms. I bought a set of "S" model bolts that are slightly longer than standard 800 bolts, but they are still too short to reach the nylok inserts on the nuts after adding the RacerTech step washers. The stock bolts are grade 8.8 steel, M10-1.5x273mm (approx). I’m looking for bolts in the 285-300mm range. Or even 8.8, M10 round stock might work. I’m pretty sure I could get both ends threaded by a machine shop.
Or any other ideas short of tack welding the bolt to the frame ? How about drilling the nut/bolt and running safety wire through it ?
