Hey Linda, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, the Erickson Aluminum Mobility / Cargo Carrier # EM34JV uses an M16 threaded bolt for the hitch pin.

Are you looking to replace it, or are you trying to get on in advance? (This already comes with one)

Thanks for your reply. I’m actually trying to find the correct threaded bolt for my Guide Gear cargo carrier which looks very similar to the EM34JV. Guide Gear company seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth and I’ve been unable to find any bolt the size that I need. I thought that if your product used the same bolt, then perhaps you would carry that bolt in stock. The one I need is 5.25” long, with 2.25” of threads. Any chance you have an M16 bolt like this?

@LindaW We do have some M16 bolts like the etrailer Locking Hitch Pin # e99047, but we haven't fitted it with the Erickson cargo carrier so I have no way to verify it will work. If I were you, I'd take the whole thing up to a hardware store and see if they'll let you shuffle through their hardware to see if something can work.
