That would be the smart thing to do.... I 'll do that

Take it to Ace Hardware store I'll get you one

:agree: If you take it to any decent hardware store; they can match up the threads for you. All that you'll need to do, is give them an idea of what the original length was... :thumbup:

Good Luck!

Thanks Bob, I called Rivco, they said it was a 7/16x20x1....? But the bolt is. 3/8

Hard to say..!!

Rivco probably uses sae bolts. The spyder is metric so the taking the bolt with you is the best idea. As said give them the length and home depot, hardwear or autoparts store will fix you up...:thumbup:

Are the brackets stainless also? If so then you need to use some anti-seize compound to keep the bolts from galling. Stainless bolts into stainless is a bad combination. They want to gall and seize up. That might be why yours broke.

Yes sir they were galled, would like to find a bolt locally, Rivco did say they would send me another though, ...

Any well stocked hardware store or farm supply store will have them. If the bolt isn't openly visible I'd suggest you get a yellow chromate coated bolt. Rust won't be much of a problem, if at all, and you'll avoid the stainless in stainless galling potential.

Also make sure you get a harden bolt. If you get a regular grade bolt it will likely do the same thing again.

Found one today after 3 different stores, and it was an SAE 7/16x20x1 and got it back together.
