bolt kit numbers/pictures

The bolts have linear serations on the shank where they are pressed into
the ring gear and they do not have a hex head. There may not be room for
a hex head on the one side.
Seems like a bad place to try to save 20 bucks considering you're
loosing some basic design features associated with handling over 1000
ft-lb torque.
