Europa-List: Mono tail wheel spring mounting bolt break

Just a heads up for Mono flyers.
My AN5-21A Bolt that mounts the tail wheel spring to its mounting has broken. 
Thank
goodness during movement in the hanger.
The bolt shows a classical Fatigue fracture through the shank that must have 
taken
some time to break.
I am getting the plane back this evening into my workshop.
Perhaps mono drivers would like to check the tightness of this bolt or if there
is sideways movement on the spring.

Happy Days!!
