And make sure you put anti seize on it when you body it back up.

Antiseize still burns off, and heat weakens some bolts over time, I installed stainless studs to make life easier.

You may be able to use a slightly longer bolt and engage some deeper threads that are still good

I just went through having two bolts snapped off on the DP side and two in the center section. I went with two stainless threaded studs and nuts to help future bolt issues and easy DP install. I'm gonna sell the left overs on the board for less than I bought them so it's in search results. I haven't heard of members doing this but having the bottom and top as studs was way easier to get the other bolts lined up straight without possible stripping.

Also, no need to over tighten whichever nuts or bolts you use... a little more than wrist tight is good
