I feel like the proverbial dog chasing my own tail. I need a replacement washer nut for the lower rocker arm pivot for my sons 2017 Capra. YT are being less than helpful at the moment, siting computer issues for many weeks now.

So, can anyone recommend someone that can make /stocks spare parts for YT bikes?

Thx

They are showing as in stock here (or is this the problem-and they aren't? )- Bolt

Failing that ,could you not just use a bolt and washer to get you out of trouble?

They are waiting for certain replacement items like mine to come in. The washer bolt I need sits in a recess. A bolt and washer wont work, give the support I need unfortunately.
Thx for your thoughts. Happy riding, skiddie

Could you not just use a smaller washer to land only where it needs to ie on the 6903 bearings inner race? Sure it won't look the same but for now it will do the same job .I have a 2014-same as the 2017 as far as I know .

hhhhhmmm, not sure I have the engineering confidence to do that. My track record of working with bearings to be honest is not great!!!!

It should be relatively simple,bolt to match the length ,width and thread of original with a washer to go over it to match the diameter of inner stepped bit of original that sits on the inner race of bearing .

I don't think you'll find anyone selling aftermarket ones of the original.You should be able to get a good machine shop to make you something similar although I'm guessing it's fairy complex for a one off.

You may however have a result asking for one on the YT facebook pages or the huge pinkbike forum thread,as people may of obtained spares via frame replacements.
