NOOOOO lol i jusy broke off a bolt in my head trying to torque it down to 13ft lbs...but i got the bolts from homedepot...lol the bolt happen to be 1/8" to long my dad said...thankfully hes a welder and has delt with all kinds of crap before and was able to get it out. if ya got like $45 u can get a kool set of wing nut bolts. they look real kool esp if ya got chrome valave covers.
