So after all was said on done putting new bolts in, i went back a couple weeks later and had to tighten them again. Today, i went back and 4 had backed themselves all the way out and the remaining two were loose. Lucky today i had time to look at it. So i bought new bolts and took em to a machinist i know to drill holes in the heads. I ran a wire through the head of the bolt and into the next one and twisted em tight together. Shouldnt go anywhere now. But i tell you, what a pain in the butt. Hope to never have to deal with that again.
