Not me.  I am just starting to gather information and buy materials.  Thanks for the tip so I don't make the same mistake!  ;D

I got 10/32 about 1.5 inches long.  I also decided to go with a button cap socket head so it would be smoother on the hands.  I remember wearing a raw spot on the back side of my little finger on a sf2 machine that used flat head bolts.

size 10, about an inch and a half sounds right Dr. J...

With a head style to your preference, counter sincing pleasure...
