i ended up finding all the bolts using the lmc catalog, it doesnt have the bolt sizes, but i just used my noggin and ended up having them.

i do have a quick question though, does anyone know if the stock hood hinges will work with a 22" rim?

i have clearanced my driver side fender to work with the tires i have now, which are 215/70/15's...right at 26.85" (i have about an inch and a half of clearance without the motor in). the 22's i have are 235/30/22, which is 27.55" tall. im thinking of maybe moving to 265/35/22 in the future, which is 29.3" tall. im not sure if those would clear, or even the rim i have now would clear. cant put them on yet because i still need to order adapters. im thinking of just chopping off what i need and go porterbuilt hinges, but i just dont have the coin for that now, but if i have to run them at some point, i will.

any input on this before i waste half my day clearancing the passenger fender?
