Awww. Come on, Fede! You can do better than that. Either look up the part numbers for the exact parts, or use common AN type hardware, preferably with a "C" in the part number indicating anti-corrosive stainless. (Example: AN3-4 is a 3/16" dia. bolt approx. 1/2" long but a AN3C-4 is identical except in stainless.)
Use high-temp lock-nuts such as AN363 or MS21042 all-metal stopnuts. (or AN363C for stainless) You can order hardware from Aircraft spruce. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/

I thought on using AN bolts and nuts, the ones that fit, but since have none of them here, i have to order new a US dealer. I was just looking for types and measures.
