Optional, but a good idea is to use
new, high-strength bolts. These are not easy to find in small quantity

ordered from one of the TR vendors. Bolt flange length is critical to avoid
*any* threads inside the bolted parts, where it will act like a milling
machine
and eventually oversize the hole.
Greetings.. The bolts you want are called AN shear bolts. The threaded
part is long enough for a standard nut and washer and have 3 threads showing.
The rest is unthreaded shank. These are available at any aircraft supply
store (look near a general aviation airport) and can be bought singly and
usually for about a buck apiece for this size. Use a nyloc or better yet, an
all
steel lock nut. TJ
