[QUOTE="Dean Hedin, post: 1025049, member: 57230"] One thing I should mention. Most likely folks will have to replace the front "A Position" bolts when they do this job. There is an area where water can collect on the front bolts and they tend to get waisted in the middle of the threads. I was able to find suitable 12mm bolts that were fully threaded and of sufficient length at a local Sears Hardware. These were not grade 8 but they appear to be holding up fine. I think I was lucky to find metric bolts this big locally. Others may find they have to mail order them. But I would be surprised if the bolts at the other positions could not be re-used. Kick myself for not measuring all the bolts lengths while doing this job as it would have benefited others. [/QUOTE]
