Sooo, doesn't it seem that the studs could be purchased and put in the block in place of the bolts and if measured properly when installing, properly lock tightened, should work for the better? I'm just wondering. Anybody ever heard of someone doing this?
You're stuck on the stud thing for some reason. Not sure how often you plan on removing the heads, but the bolts are $20 on ebay and you should be good for another 500 hours.
