Yes...me too!. Someone else suggested that you should use the
old bolts to check clearance. Makes sense. How much did you say
the new one's cost? $5 per? Use the old ones. :-)
BTW....when I tried using the the plastigauge last year, I left
the bearing prelube on the surface. This was a mistake. It
seemed to dissolve the plastigauge and I had a heck of a time
cleaning the mess up.

Bob....can this area be properly inspected from underneath
the car? I mean, you only saw this after pulling the tub,
correct?
