We do! FYI the bolts should be alternated, one from the left side and one from the right. This increases the strength substantially. We are in process of making some of these right now for our build as well.
PM me if you wish for me to offer you pricing.

I think it is so that you have tension in the bolts from different directions instead of just one direction. I like to alternate bolts like that also for the warm and fuzzy that it gives me since I am not a mechanical engineer and don't know any better. I do the same thing with hose clamps....

These are designed for the bolts to be alternated...look at where the threads are placed.... Originally Posted by MCMLXIX
