Just need these or similar seat cowl bolts. Haven't found anyone who sells them separately so far, though I have a couple emails I'm waiting to hear back from. Thanks!

Lowes actually has a very good a la carte selection of this type of hardware. They're probably M8 size.
When you reach a fork in the road, take it.

Thanks. I think they are M4 x 10mm. Anyway, I have some knurled thumb wheel screws on order from Amazon and will see if they fit, but would really like the RE bolts if I can find them for sale without the cowl.

I was able to locate a seller willing to sell me a set without the cowl. Life is good.

I've been waiting for a round tuit to see whether I could find some sort of eyebolts (black) that would function as attachment points for bungee cords.  If I'm successful I will post here.

I hope to meet up with you when the oven outside is set back to Medium..

Sounds like a plan, Ron.

Do a search for "Lifting Shoulder Eye Bolts M6" (or M8, etc). You will find them everywhere,

Thanks!  I'll do just that.

Now that I know what to search for (thanks, NVDucati), I followed his "link" and found what could very well work for me.  However, do you have any specifics on the exact thread size/pitch on these screws, so I know what to order?

Thanks.  Ron
