It looks like I'll need an Allen head (metric) bolt. My local hardware store doesn't sell any bolt anywhere large enough, so I will have to search one out. To do that, it will be useful to know the bolt specifications.
The head of the bolt is stamped "M 8.8 CS". Does anyone know what that is telling me about the bolt?
Thanks,

I had to get a bolt for mine also, don't know if you have a Menards (home improvement store) where you live or not. The bolt I got is called a 'socket head cap screw' 3/8 by whatever length you need. It's a specialty screw that you would probably have to ask for. Take the other one with you to make sure the threads and length are correct.
