I have stripped that pesky little pinch bolt that holds the column to the rack Is it a special bolt, i remember reading some where that the length of the shaft was important or can i use a cap screw |

IMO, the stock bolt should have been 5/16" not 1/4". I fit a grade 12 cap head bolt and HT nut. The original was 1-3/8" long. |

Thanks That's what I was thinking of doing as well I will use a 5/16 drill bit as a guide and see I can get it to fit through the clamp Ta Bernard |

The original bolt was only a Grade 5. A Grade 8 or better 1/4" UNF bolt (and nut) should be fine... |
