Yeah I certainly can, its m6x1.00mm with a 20mm length, I recommend flanged if you can find it, or use a washer.
However, the issue isn't an inadequate amount of thread engagement, the issue appears to be over torquing the bolt. I can't necessarily solve people way over tightening, but I can prevent people potentially crossthreading the bolt and leading to them over torquing the bolt. A longer bolt will give a better chance to prevent this.
For now, just be careful to make sure you're not cross threading your factory bolt when you insert it, and do not torque it over 7.5ftlbs. 7.5ftlbs is next to nothing, the average human can exert almost twice that with a screwdriver. If you're using a ratchet, albeit small, it becomes extremely easy to bring this bolt past its yield point, its tiny!
If anyone is still having issues post up, or email us (engineering@grimmspeed.com), or give us a call 612-379-0000 and we'll get you taken care of.
