I measured the originals and ordered new bolts from Belmetric in MA. All grade 10.9 with matching washers and prevailing torque lock nuts. Dont use nylocs and make sure the washers and nuts are also grade 10.9

Here you go. Easy. And not too expensive. Just remember to use the prevailing torque or conical nuts.

Spend the extra $$ for the new hardware. In the end its not a lot of money and youve got all new stuff. Plus the yellow cad plating looks nice against black paint. LOL
