[QUOTE="Insanity, post: 386723, member: 14077"] A regular I bolt will work. They make one with regular bolt threads. Lowes should have them. No need to drill two holes. (You should have had a hole already? ) You might look for a cheap thin washer. And see if it will bend into the v as you tighten the nut down. A lock nut! At some point you might not be able to keep a socket on the nut to turn it all the way down however. Make sure it's going to fold into the v enough. If not just use the nut. Mine only has the nut. You might want to mark where the nut ends when tightened. Back it back out and cut off the extra threads. Leave the nut on when you cut it. Then back it off to push the starting threads back out. Might need to file the edge down. Wow did I just write all that for an I bolt. I'm full of it this morning. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
