Default Bolt size help please
Can anyone please tell me the bolt size, length and thread for the bolts that bolt the heavy black Horn Bracket to the heads, one on front head and one on rear head? They take a 9/16 wrench to take them off. I need to replace the bracket and would like to change the 2 bolts and 2 washers to either chrome or polished stainless. Ronnies break down shows the bolts but not sizes.

Also, is standard blue Loctite ok for this application or will high head temperature affect it? I think they came factory with a red as boy were they hard to get out. I feared I would take the threads out of the aluminum heads with the bolts but they ended up coming out without damage. Thanks for any help.

Make ... Year ... Model ... Copy the part number from Ronnie's then do a search on google, one of the references will show you the size ( usually )

Default Polished Stainless
Check Ace Hardware for the polished stainless and if they don't have it, try

Diamond Engineering Products
