that probably is my review! If you need shorter bolts, you'll need M6 x 1.0 x 12m hex flange bolts. I couldn't find it locally and ordered them from albanycountyfasteners.com. Shipping costs more than the bolts!
I'm not the handiest of people but the videos do make it seem easier or some of the items are not packaged as well as they should.For example, the optima battery kit, I had to grind open the battery terminals to fit onto the battery. In retrospect, it would have been easier to go to the store and buy bigger terminals. What was a 45 minute install turned into 2-3 hours.
It's a labor of love for sure.

So the problem you had with the stock bolts was they were so long upon removal/reinstallation they were rubbing against/damaging the paint on the bar in front of them?
Adding the brackets contributed to this (i.e., the bracket depth)?
I removed the horn before work this morning and thanks, that was the plug. Like I said I bypassed that one because it did not look like the plug in the video. I'm OCD so if something doesn't match exactly then it can't be right
