Availability of Longer Hitch Pin for Yakima Bike Racks

Question

Question:

I need a replacement bolt for a Yakima KingPin bike rack. I just purchased a newer Tacoma. For some reason when I screw the existing bolt into the new 2inch receiver hitch it is not quite long enough for me to put on the locking cap on the left side. The existing bolt has a 7/8inch head and overall length of 4 inches. Im looking for a similar bolt that is about 4 1/4inch long with the same thread and diameter. Can you help pick one out? Im attaching a photo.

The part # Y8890200 is 4-1/2 inches long which may be longer than what you currently have since some of the pins are only 4 inches long.

I do have an option for you but I cannot confirm the SilentACT Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Accessories Lock part #SHP2082 will work with the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack like part #Y02443. That said, even if it were to fit it would likely not reduce…
