Default LPW rear girdle install

So I'm going to be installing a LPW rear-end girdle today and have a couple questions before I do this. Yesterday I had jacked my car up to paint rear calipers and noticed two brackets bolted under the rear cover mounting bolts. So I dug out my installuniversity guide and saw his TA girdle came with two longer bolts for that spot. Checked my bolts and they are all the same length. What should I do to fix this? Just put in all 10 of the bolts supplied and hope they're long enough?

Just go to a hardware store and get some longer bolts if the supplied ones are too short.

Well, as I suspected they were too short. So know I have to wait till Monday when Fastenal is open to get my extra 2 bolts. I've got all the bolts torqued on so after this I should be ready to go.

Before I go and buy any bigger bolts, (which will be like 2 days because online it says my local fastenal doesn't have them) does anyone know if I can just wire-tie the e-brake tubes to the axle tubes? They're wire-tied to the panhard rod so does it really matter?

Nobody knows if I can do this or not? They are pretty stiff and already rest on the axle tubes anyways....

Sure you can tie the emergency brake cables to the axle. Just make sure it dosn't stretch or rub.

Thanks, I figured I could... It looks like they're in a pretty thick rubber sleeve.
