So now that we have distance tubes and bushings figured out, how about the
"bolt" on which all these pieces pivot?
Is this "bolt" just that, a plain old hardware store (graded of course)
bolt? Or is is some special size/dimension pivot piece with threads?
I can't find this part in the Moss catalog, so I am guessing the hardware
store is the place to look.
