Default Camber-brace help

Just purchased a used R-D Camber-Brace from a forum member. 2 questions:

1: Could anyone possibly email me an instruction sheet? Or can I get one from R-D?

2: I've heard mention of replacing a couple of bolts, but my used brace did not come with any. Can a normal bolt be used, or is it something special, like with a knurled shoulder?

This is for a 94 LT1 Coupe.

Thanks in advance for any help!

DaveZ.

I've got a set of the original instructions that I can scan and email to you (and anyone else who might need them). PM me with your address. As for additional hardware, it's been a while since I installed one in my previous 96 LT1 but I think that although some bolts and shims came with the Brace, I didn't need to use them. Let me ask the guy who helped me as his memory has to be better than mine (just about anyone's would, at this point)...

Emails sent. The scans didn't turn out as large as I thought so I'll post them here. Anyone needing the instructions for the LT1/4 with the OEM waterpump can now download them:
