Subject:      Size spec for pop-top bolt?

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.
