The frame is a 4000? Or something like that. It is almost exactly the same as my '00 EVO and does use the same bolts.
I have tried ordering from local shops. Most flat out tell me "no K2" while the K2 "dealers" give me the run around. I've looked in local hardware stores and fittings places but they don't have anything.
Can I order direct from K2? I tried that once but was told they don't see those parts. Is there a spec on this bolt I can use to buy something from an on line bolt company? Any have extras? Blueprints (friend has a machine shop)!?
This frame is waiting to be built up for almost a year. It would have been done and sold by now were it not for these blasted bolts!!!

go to our tech archives and pull up a 98 or 99 owners manual.
frame bolts are listed usually on page 15
Any hardware store, lowes, kmart, home depot and the like can get these or should have them in stock
M is for Metric
OP
bolt location - size/description - torque in inch pounds - locktite

Thanks, At least with the bolt specs I can order something.
Now, anyone want a K2 4000 with very low miles and brand new shock bolts ;)

I broke my rear lower bolt while on vacation in Pisgah and went to a local nut and bolt shop, they gave me the right size and made of the tougher steel [can't remember the name of the stuff], they had a minimum sale of $3 but figured that was extortionate for one nut and bolt so they just gave it me! You don't need to buy from a LBS or K2, just check any hardware !

just call K2. I had the same issue about 3 months ago. they sent me new bolts, spacers,et al at no charge.
great customer service!
