Yeah. I looked at that this morning. Looks like for the tailpipe hangers they use a long threaded bolt and nut. AIM doesn't show that, but shows a shorter bolt, but that could be just they way it got drawn up. In any case I've checked out the L34/35 pages in the AIM as well as the NC8 pages. Finally gathered up the part numbers I need and headed over to the AMK site, and there are quite a few pieces not offered.

Here is a list that AMK don't have.
179816 Bolt
179820 Bolt
103320 L-washer
1363900 Screw
9431541 Screw

*Need dimensions to find alternatives.*

Here is a list of what they do have.
102634 Nut 5/16-18
9411890 Screw 1/4-20 x 5/8 AF
3922549 Screw 5/16-18 x 7/8 1/2 AF

Pretty sure I have all the part numbers.

Something else I noticed in my research for this installation... I was checking out some older posts and found that '69Z28Freak' a T.C. member from Canada modified at least one of the tailpipe hangers, and made it more round shaped versus the flats that were formed into it. Not sure if that is needed, still wondering if I would need to do this. Kinda would be nice to see some really good close ups of all 4 of those hangers installed. Gotta keep digging I suppose.
