DOHT!....what size and which bolts are you having troubles with?...and are you prepared already with the oversized hardware for to replace the stock, if you are going to have to go that route?

I am prepared with the over sized barb measured @ 1/4NPT to 1/2" barbed fitting.  I believe a 1/2 drill bit or large is needed.  I am not certain which tap. Though I have been told 1/8-20npt . If I measrued the teeth properly it appears to be correct but I am not certain.

hard to say without my guages that are in my taps and dies kits...
