They are the same thing.. what he did was open the holes to fit 10mm bolts (use 10x1.25x50mm long) The bars need to be squeezed so the bars flex and the holes line up. the OP of that thread used a vice and band clamps to kep then squeezed while they were bolted in place! Cheers Dave

The bolt is 10mm, not the head .

Length can be 40-50 mm

I found 50 wasn't too long and Dave found 40 wasn't too short .

I bought 50mm and also 60mm full thread - I have a machine shop in my basement - so easy to modify and/or cut down. I am working on an add on plate that will make mounting these a snap with no welding or painting- just bolt on. I'll post as soon as work allows me to do it..

Check other stores???

I found them at 70mm long with full thread at a local farm store known as Rural King.
I haven;t found them in stainless yet, well not in the states.

Check Ace Hardware or Tru-Value.
Lowes and Home Depot most likely won't.

I found some online I may still have them as the kit Modzuki sent me had them included. I will check when I get home.
