ok, just to clarify some things...

I have the 10mm bolts which will need replacing. They are installed w/ the moon plates, but I do not see the schnorr washers there. Everything fits well, but I have no idea what length of bolts to replace them with.

I don't have the facilities where I can just pull one out and measure while the car just sits there, so when I get in there, I'm going to have to get it done and move on.

To prevent a holdup, I'm going w/ the shotgun approach of getting 45mm 50mm and 55mm bolts, M10, 1.5 thread, 8mm hex. McMaster-Carr under the 45mm bolts has a choice of full thread or partial thread on the bolts. The 50mm and 55mm only come w/ partial thread. Is full thread an improvement or does it actually weaken the bolt?

thanks.

edit: can, or SHOULD, these be made from stainless?

edit 2: are the washers serrated on both sides or just one?
