Expert Reply:

The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket, # CE10100G and # CE10201G, do not use bolts with partial thread to allow the swivel bracket to move. Once you have the swivel bracket at the angle you need, you simply tighten the bolt down to hold the swivel bracket in place.

The swivel mounting hole on the swivel and bolster bracket will require a 1/2 inch bolt and the flange mounting holes that are used to secure the bunk board to the swivel bracket are 3/8 inch in diameter. You could simply use wood screws for these holes. All of the mounting hardware is available at any local hardware store.

The mounting slots on the bolster bracket are 1/2 inch wide x 2-3/4 inches long. You will want to choose a u-bolt that will fit around your trailer frame and a nut and washer to secure the bracket to the frame. I have attached a link to all of the u-bolts that we carry.
