Mounting UMI K-Member to 4th Gen F-Body
I bought a Stage 4 UMI Front Suspension, and I am currently having problems mounting it in the car. The stock hardware to mount the stock K-Member to the frame will not work with the UMI K-Member. The Kit did not come with new hardware for this. In the attached picture it shows why it won't work. The stock hardware for the k member mount is too long by the height of the mounting tube because the end of the tube is left open. The stock k member hole is narrower.
What is the deal here? It is saturday and not any old place sells 10.9 grade fasteners...

The good news is, home depot had 10.9 grade fasteners in a shorter version of the bolt that I needed.

All 4 are open for me. They are open like in the picture attached to the 1st post. I have the 2 rear mount washers. They came zip tied to the K-member.
