[glow=red,2,300][/glow]Product of Hillman Fastener (I found at Lowes Hardware) Hillman #880836 or UPC 0008236712278. Title on lowes website is "The Hillman Group M8-1.25 x 30mm Plain Alloy Standard-Thread Socket Cap Screw Bolt" Lowes # 138547 . This takes an Allen head to tighten.
Bracket requires 4 fasteners. Currently about 80cents+/- link:www.lowes.com/pd_138547-37672-880836_0__?Ntt=880836&productId=3012887&rpp=16
One of my holes for the bolt, didn't seem to be wanting to take the fastener straight in, so I got out my tap and die set and with this particular fastener the thread pitch is 1.25 . I ran the tap once thru the hole and cleaned it right up and just went ahead and did the other 3 for good measure.
Hint: when installing a bracket, don't tighten up each fastener all the way until you have them all started. This leaves you wiggle room for getting them all started before you start tightening them down.
