$4.58 at Masters.

If you've taken the plastic thing out, the head of the bolt fits in there with less then 1mm gap.

If you are using SS screws into alloy castings use a little copper ease or some brake part grease. They will be so much easier to get out.

Bought a pack - I might chuck some pics up here once I make the swap.

The bolt alone wasn't long enough I had to add a spacer

I didn't end up re-installing mine.
If anyone wants it, plus the packet of bolts to make it fit can have it for $30

Postage at your cost if needed.

Just did the nut and bolt swap. Very happy with the new feel. In conjunction with a Turret oil Change I've got no complaints!
