Overrider bolts

[Barrie Robinson <barrie@look.ca>]

First my many thanks to those who helped me on this problem.  I have solved 
the problem.

I had tried getting standard carriage bolts as my first obvious solution 
-so I did get some SS ones from Home Depot but they were either too small 
or too big.  Thus my frantic plea to the list.  But in a moment of 
inspiration I thought I would try Home Hardware and found that theirs were 
differently sized (no standards?).  They fitted except I had to grind down 
the heads so the rubber buffers would lay flat.  Fixed them to the 
overrrider with washer, spring washer and nut - and viola!  I was in 
business and bumper went on fine!!  So problem solved and I now have the 
knowledge that all carriage bolts are not equal!!!
So obviously one has not to assume that all things are equal in the 
fastener world - at least as far as carriage bolts are concerned
