I geuss I overlooked the fact that they are not available in metric sizes, but here they are anyway:

Since I'm already playing the linking game, for anyone that needs hardware for a 46 mm, this is whats needed:
4 of these (come in a box of 10): http://www.mcmaster.com/param/asp/ps...2662;136=40008

I don't think I need to wire. It looks like you guys are wiring the adapters to tial bolts on, and not the flange bolts. Since the 46 has no adapters, I think I should be ok with loctite and locking washers.

oh thats right, you can't link McMaster pages...
OK, start on the home page scroll down, close to the bottom, find the main category "Fastening and Sealing" In the list under this category, find Socket Head Cap Screws and click on it. From there I think you will be able to figure it out. For anyone that needs 46mm hardware dimensions, here you are:
4 stainless steel M8x1.25x20
4 stainless steel M8x1.25x26 (M8x1.25x25 is what I ordered)

Thats why you have to go through a couple of heat cycles of retorquing. I used foot long pipe over the ratchet, and tighted the bolts that way. Those bolts must be on there more than a few FT-LBS.

That kit works if you are using hexhead fasteners because the tabs wrap around the wrenching flats. It's a quick fix but not as mechanically secure as lock wire.
And obviously won't work on round headed fasteners.
