Title: Where to get bolts for the Roll Cage / Windshield frame?
Post by: jfrabat on June 27, 2008, 12:54:14 PM

Guys, I know someone here must have changed the 4 bolts that join the sportcage extension to the windshield frame; One of mine is completely busted and is currently out with nothing in its place, and although I have been to about 6 different hardware stores, I have been unable to find a countersunk bolt with the same thread pattern (I looked for both torx and hex, and still nothing!).  Any idea if ther eis anywhere I can get them online?

I had to go to a local shop that just delt with fastners. All they had was hex, which really didn't bother me. Did you check quadratec?

You will most likely be able to find them here: http://www.mcmaster.com/.  The previous owner replaced one of mine with a regular bolt and it just clears the door but works just fine.

Anyone happens to remember the bolt size?

I too just went down to the local Nut & bolt store and picked up some Allen head bolts.  They have a taper and sit flush like the torx.  Unlike the torx, they are made of hardened steel and not aluminum.

I forget the size offhand since I don't use them nor the support bars anymore.

I believe the ones you are looking for are The M8x20x1.25 hex. McMaster has them in stainless is part # 92125A284 for $10.41 per Pack of 25.

Thanks to all!  I will be placing the order for the 25 pack today...  If anyone needs some, of these, let me know (after all, I only need 4, so we can split the difference!)
