Hi all?
Can anyone give me the specs for the short carriage bolt that goes
through the westfalia pop-top to secure the struts that lift and hold
the pop-top in position when open? These are the bolts that go through
the top less than a foot back from the forward edge of the pop-top,
securing the strut "foot", which is attached to the pop-top by two such
bolts and two phillips head wood screws.
I had two of those bolts snap off on me when re-installing my pop-top.
The bolts appear to be about 1-2 cm long, and take a 10mm nut.
Any suggestions on where to locate a couple of these bolts in the
Vancouver, BC area would be appreciated, too. Pacific Fasteners
doesn't carry metric carriage bolts.
Thanks,
T.
