Find a better hardware store. It should be at all hard to find fine-threaded bolts. You should be able to clean up and re-use the special nuts and bolts from the soft top frame, I think. I have found that hardware-store bolts, even the correct ones, are okay for simple, low-stress things like the muffler and radiator brackets. But be sure to use the correct hardware for the suspension, drivetrain, etc.!!! Doug Braun '72 Spit Your messages not reaching the list?
