I agree with Brian in Oregon, that an origional shear pin should be used. BUT When faced with useing a bolt, go get some 5/16" redi-rod and cut it to length. That way the redi-rod will shear evenly. That is the problem with useing a bolt, is that on one side you have the full dimension shank and on the other the theading, resulting in the shank side shearing much harder. This way the threading makes it uniform on both sides. Tom
