Screw size for the screws that bolt the link mount to the rear axle

[CTB]

I sheered one in half and am trying to figure out the size, anyone know? Googled the manual and it has the rear listed as a M2.8, the front is listed as m2.5, googled 2.8 and that seems to not exist. Any help would be appreciated, would like to try and find some Titanium so that it would be stronger, as the other side showed signs of flexing and looked as it was about to fail also.

The socket head cap screw that has the nut on the end is a M2.5x30mm - My MIP 2.5mm driver fits perfectly in there. The first 11mm by the head is unthreaded. BTW - titanium is not always stronger for bolts - Titanium bolts can be as strong as mild steel or stainless steel bolts. Titanium bolts are not as strong as high-tensile steel bolts. It's just lighter! (and stronger than aluminum, of course)...

Im actually talking about the ones that mount the bracket for the inner links, they screw in just out side the pumpkin on the rear. thanks for the information on the Titanium!

M2.5x14mm socket head cap screw for that location (you are helping me out, here - I have STRC aluminum upper link mounts that I need to install, which I am now doing - screw by screw!)

I have used 3mm stainless. I always replace the black screws with stainless as they rust after a while. That's due to the wet conditions I drive in. 3mm will also be stronger. 3 x 14mm

Manual states 2.5x10mm. I've used 4-40 x 9/16" though.

M2.8 x 14mm cap head self tapper. I found them at amainhobbies and Hobbietown. It's a vaterra specific thing so I would assume anywhere you can get Vaterra parts they should be able to get that. Also I just bought rear Beef Tubes for my Ascender and those were inclided. Allegedly they are "hardened KNK" so I would assume KNK Hardware would have them as well.
