Flex 3401 Lake Country 4 inch backing plate system hex bolt size
Anybody know the size of the new hex bolt that comes with the 4 inch changeable backing plate system kit? It's a different size then the original, and I need to tighten this baby up.

I believe this is correct for the updated adapter kits.
Metric Bolt = 1.25 x 20
Washer = 5/8"
Plus there are two shims about 1" in diameter and paper thin.

You can get the correct bolt at Lowe's or Home Depot in stainless and grade 8
Do not use the factory bolt with the adapter

Hello Mike and community
I saw this thread and it brought up a question. I just got the lc 4 in bp system and it does have the shims. I read in Mikes flex book that the shims are for the 6in plate that is no longer available. I thought I had read in some older threads also that one shouldn't use the shims for the 4 in bp. So should I use the shims with the 4in bp? Seems I should since they came in the package but want to be sure before hand due to the conflicting info. Sorry if I missed a thread that explains this already, been researching a lot and may have missed it.
Mike, really enjoy your book and videos I've seen.
Thanks

In addition, I just ordered the FLEX3401 as an upgrade from the GG^. I ordered the Flex FLEX XC3401 Mini 4 3/8 Backing Plate, FLEX but I feel like I,m missing something in that all the posts I read what LC part are people referring too?
Thanks to anyone.
