I don't mind paying for the bolts.  Seems kinda dumb to be penny-wise
and pound-foolish, especially with brake stuff.  That's why I ask the
questions - to make sure I'm doing this right, rather than half-assed.
 I don't want to bend sheet metal.  But more thhan that, I don't want
to hurt myself, my family, or any innocent bystanders because I
ASSumed something incorrectly.  I appreciate you sharing your
experience.  Now - where do I get those darn bolts?  Dealer only?

Thanks,

Eric
