    No country of origin shown. Every time I have bought hardware or tools from Amazon with no brand and no country of origin it has been the same story.

    Chinese and not of any discernable quality. There are good reasonably priced sources but Amazon is not one.

    Not really what I indicated but I sure wouldn't be shopping at Ebay or Amazon either and buying Chinese junk. If time has no value go to McMaster Carr or someone like that then get it properly plated. If you place any value on your time get it at the dealer and be done with it.

    Not critical? The horsey is worth at least 5 bhp.
    I assumed it was common knowledge, a quick read of Vonbarron's threads will educate you.

    I second this, drive it out with a punch or bar stock or something else, I would not risk using the new bolt or subjecting it to damage.....

    Well that sure looks prettier than that Amazon bolt for which the seller did not even bother to post the right picture with the right length.
