Like the title says, I cant find one that fits good. The bolt is a little stripped it appears, so what would be the easiest way to get it out, and where can i find a replacement bolt??

Thanks
Jason

Yeah that's a tough one on the 931. 6mm seems to be the size, but it's a bit loose. The next possibly usable size up is 1/4", but that doesn't slip in - maybe file a slight chamfer to the end of a 1/4"'er and hammer it on. I have a vague recollection of getting by with the 6mm Allen and a pair of needle nose vise-grips when I dealt with mine. The rubber bushings tend to be stuck tight to the bolt, so that adds to the difficulty. Hold the bolt still however you can and remove the nut from the other end - then you still have to get the bolt out while the bushings hold on and fight you. If you can get the bolt out some by prying or hammering from the nut end, you should be able to get a vise-grips on the head end, then twist and pull until it's out. Probably have to at least remove the air box for clearance.
