We are looking to duplicate the same hardware you used Jim. Are those bolts 7/16-14X? & 5/16-18X? and would you use the same thread pitch & length again, or? And BTW The "Red Herring" gauges look amazing!

Thanks! They turned out awesome.

Back on subject Yes, I would definitely use the same pitch again. They were 7/16"-14x1.5" and the other 3/8"-16x1" (I also used a few 3/8"-16x1.75"). If I were to do it again, I would probably try and get some shorter bolts, some of them were a tad on the long-ish side as you can see in my photos. I ordered them that way because they were cheaper in bulk (I ordered from McMaster-Carr).

I will tell you one thing though. Those suckers are NEVER coming apart. I actually used an impact wrench to assemble the frame because they're that tight to bolt together.
