Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on bolt issue. If bolts show no sign of distress, they are cleaned properly and torqued to specs, there should be no reason not to reuse them. Have reused bolts&nbsp\\;with &nbsp\\;much higher stress loads for MANY years with no failures. Not saying anyone should do it if not comfortable, just not necessary.
