QUICK - HELP - XMetal Pole Bolts on a UMI Pole

[CuzzinOlaf]

I searched with no luck and need to order these ASAP if they will work. Can someone either tell me if the Xmetal bolts will work with a UMI Pole OR the thickness between the outside of the mount and the inside of their UMI pole so I can have an idea of what bolt length I need. My OEM Yami bolt is stripped and I can't tighten my pole as much as I would like... and it kicked my ass yesterday.

I need to know by noon or soon after Eastern time.... Thanks

Did you contact X-metal?

Yep, spoke to Pat and he told me to find out the bolt length I need, said he has a few slightly longer bolts. I wanted to confirm before I spend $45 plus overnight shipping so here I am.

Just measure and get shoulder bolts from McMaster Carr the next day.

His bolts do work with a stock pole. If the UMI ears are any thicker than stock, there might be trouble with his standard bolts.

I would measure if I were home... I was hoping someone could give me the measurement.

Bueller? Anyone? I need to order these soon. I think they will work but I just would like to hear confirmation before spending $65 on some bolts.

$45 without shipping... and I need them overnighted.

I got confirmation that they won't work.... so now need to find the thickness and length and head to McCaster Carr.... there is one about 40 miles from me. I guess I can take the old bolt out, bring it with me and measure the length. I just know once I take this bolt out I can't use it again...
