Anyone know the details on these goofy bolts that attach the wings to the bulkhead? there's *I think* four on wing.

In case you're trying to source them locally, don't worry---you'll never find them anywhere but at a Series Rover parts supplier.

Mark- can an alternative be used without modification?

I suppose you can use anything that'll thread into the spire nut or change the spire nut to fit whatever bolt you are using, but why would you want to? The correct bolts (AM605061) are only $0.89 each and the correct spire nuts (AM605061) are only $0.58 each, depending on where you shop.

The setup is desinged to tighten and loosen quickly, so you don't have to spend lots of time fiddling around in that confined space.

I totally agree with Mark. Those fasteners are the best way to go.

I would agree more if they were stainless. But alas, they're not. Oh well, thanks for the part number Mark!

Coat them well with never seize and you shouldn't have any problems down the road.
