Just find a bolt that is the same size, it will work. If you find a grade 8 and are snapping those I suggest you quit letting barry bonds tighten your bolts.quote: NDMstang65 (9:54:55 PM): scottie gagged me once...

I hear you can drill those holes right out and use some big ones because the bolt hole is like an inch or more from the surround.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2332048
