I was wondering about replacing my rivets with bolts I see that they sell a kit but anyone here have the size of the bolts to use. I have heard 8/32 but that seems smaller than what I got. How long also. Appreciate any help. -Arthur-

The rivets are 1/8" so the 8-32 bolt would work. I would go with a 3/4" length to allow for washers and ny-lock nut. If the 3/4" length is too long you can always cut it with a the bolt cutter part of most wire crimper/strippers.

I used stainless steel button head allen screws on mine and also installed flat washers and SS nylock nuts on the inside. Looks nice!
