Where’d this come from?

Hey John:

I did a quick walk around my slingshot looking for allen head bolts like that and only two really really jumped out at me. The metal plate that holds the spring and cable to the rear brake for the parking brake has two screws that look just like what you found, here are two pictures I took. the first bolt is right there at the top. The other is directly below that one and if you look you can just see it in the second picture. there is a third bolt that also seems to serve as the stop for the actuator arm, but the head on it is about 1/2 inch long so that it can stick out - it is to the right in the first picture and is very different - I am not seeing the spring washer, but you might want to check these

Other that that nothing jumps out that is easily seen there really dont seem to be a large number of allen bolts used at all, most seem to be torx or normal hex head

Thanks! I’ll take a close look tomorrow.

Don’t think that’s it.

Here’s a thought that just crossed my mind. Check to see if it is a metric or SAE bolt. If it is SAE it may not have come from your Slingshot at all. All of the hardware that I have replaced has been metric.

It takes a 4.5 mm hex. 😕. Putting it on a trickle charger and running away Monday for couple of months. Will worry about it when I get back.
