Front Brake Screw?

[unoahguy]

The Whizzer I bought runs now! However, I noticed that the screw that connects the front brake arm to the front forks it missing. Sooo my front break does not work. What type/strength of screw will be needed? It is a 2000 WC1.

Use grade 5 or better screw, in metric that's a grade 8.8
Makes sure the screw ain't too long (cut it if necessary) or it will hit the fork tube and put a dimple in it. Then the fork will jam in the down position ruining the fork tube.

Don't forget to use Blue Loctite so ya don't loose your new screw

Let's see a picture of this Sportsman, blue right? 24"wheels?
Only 288 of them made.
I'd use a button head bolt
