They currently have long bolts, but I was using those in my iron heads...worried that with the aluminum I might eventually strip out the holes when bolting them back on so looking to go to studs.

I used studs from Canadian Tire. Matt Forgot Fastenal will have what you need too. Last edited by MattW; 01/19/14 03:58 PM.
