I need to replace the main rotor bolt in my rotor head. It is an AN10-61. Any ideas other than LEAF, Aircraft Spruce, or Wag-Aero? I can't access Wicks, don't know if they are still in business. Thanks in advance.

Wicks is still around,
Acft Spruce would be my first choice, look on thier website and see if they have it.
I replaced ALL My rotorhead hardware with new ones from Acft Spruce.

Wick's is still up on the net. I just ordered some stuff from them.
www.wicksaircraft.com (http://www.wicksaircraft.com)

I did a quick search for bolts there, and the biggest I saw listed was an AN-8, though.

Have not done business with these folks but they have a LARGE selection of aircraft hardware.

I've bought many long bolts from Genuine Aircraft Hardware for my various props, but even they will occasionally have to order a long honker from the manufacturer and you'll have to wait a month or so. I needed extremely long bolts for my IVO cockpit adjustable prop that was slapped onto the thick reduction pulley, but they eventually came through and they've been nice to deal with.....well, nobody yelled at me on the phone anyway.
