Bolts for Front Wheel Weights

[Tim in New York]

Got a set of front wheel weights for my 2424 recently and ready to install them. Looking at the rims, it seems they have square holes, so I was thinking they were designed for carriage bolts. But my parts manual says hex head cap screws, 1/2 X 2. What should I use?

Thanks,
Tim

I hate carrage bolts. I would use hex head bolts.

I agree with Delta. Use a heavy (thick) washer under the head. Jim

I'm with Delta I also hate carriage bolts they in variably get out of the square hole that is supposed to hold them and turn till you either cut them off with a grinder or torch. For rear wheel weights I use old brake pads for the heads and nuts so they are accessible to tighten or remove.

Thanks for the input. Bought regular hex head cap screws today.
