The criteria used here was to have at least one thread showing, that is a thread all the way around the bolt, so it can look like 1 1/2 threads, but it isn't. Accomplished the task using both the shorter and longer bolts supplied with the kit. Also used zero to 3 three washers. I hope to update my web site soon which will then have a few pictures showing the results. I think a heavy application of the brakes will apply some tension on the bolts, the legs present quite a long lever, so the force could be considerable. Keep on sanding!
