Default Header bolts

Anyone know what length and where to buy header bolts for the FLP headers? I wanted to use the original bolts but they are to long as the FLP header flanges are not as thick. I could use some washers, but would rather go with new bolts. Anyone have any ideas?

TIA,
Jeff

I used stock bolts originally with my FLP headers but got tired of rechecking the torque so I got some Breslin bolts from Jegs.

Awesome header bolts. I have them with my Dynatechs and they work great! Best thing since sliced bread.

Or if you're dead broke like me most of time , add a thick lock washer.

Same here, makes for an easier install if you are alone as well.
