AutoZone will rent you the tool for free. YOu pay a security deposit, but if you opt to keep the tool, you can and they keep the deposit. AND, in cases where I wanted a tool that was new, I was able to purchase the tool new from them at the "security deposit" price. AZ has quickly become my favorite local parts store for general "stuff"!
FW bolts...
I believe it was Hammer that suggested I buy the 7/16 x 20s (?) x 1-1/8" grade 8s (I got mine at ACE H/W) and 8 SBC hardened head bolt washers I got from an auto parts store. Use RED Locktite and torque to spec.
Matter of fact, I followed Hammer's advice pretty much to the letter; the FW bolts, and tapping the holes for the PP bolts to accept the longer (I bought the SRP kit - bolts and tap). Works like a friggin charm!
