As long as it isn't cracked you should be ok. The bolts you need are button head allen bolts.

Yes, the hardware kit isn't expensive or you can just buy some locally. WS6store has 'em.

Yes just the 10 for the valley cover. I'm not sure if the top 10 are the same as stock or not. Should be fairly easy to tell if they'll work though.
