Re: what kind/size bolts
OK, I'm not buying or selling. This is free advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of the bolts for the hard top (double wall, not sure if there is a difference for single wall) are 5/16". The bolts for the bed rails I'm using are 1" long, and the 2 center windshield frame bolts are 1" long. The bolts that go through the visor hangers are 2.5" long. The bolts should be tappered on the end, so that they can locate themselves into the nuts.

Re: what kind/size bolts
I just did my single wall and put 5/16*18x1" stainless bolts (or better known as 5/16x1 coarse thread) that i bought at the local hardware store. Even if there was a kit out there it would cost way too much. Just go by them in your hardware store. I used stainless cause i have fresh running water in my rig. (leaks like crazy)
