I’m on the hunt for a replacement pivot bolt for a used operator that I just bought. It’s the one on the back of the rocker arm that connects to the upper stays. It’s on a 2017 Operator. I’ve found the Kona kit that has all the replacement blots and new bearings, part number CMPDHBK10. It’s listed on their website but there’s no option to purchase, I’m assuming no stock. Searching the part number online hasn’t turned up any results.
The main bolt still functions, but the little keeper bolt that screws inside the larger bolt to lock it in place snapped.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Going to start calling every Kona dealer I can find to see if they have a kit tucked away in a back room or under a workbench somewhere.

Alternatively, if someone has an old frame laying around I would buy just that bolt from them. It would need to be from a 2017-2021 frame I believe.

Looking at the picture of the parts kit. If it is just that socket head tensioning retaining bolt you may be ok with just some loctite. None of my pivot bolts on any of my bikes have a retainer system, they just use loctite. Did it break off inside the other bolt? If not, you can just get a new metric socket head bolt from Napa or any other industrial supply.

Maybe post a picture of the broken piece?
