Hello I was wondering if someone knows what size bolts are used to hold the front fender to the fork braces?  They are so beat up on my bike that I had to jerry rig something just to get them off. Now I want to replace them? Does anybody know what size they are and where I could get them?  Thanks.

Sometimes the Ron Ayers parts fiches give screw/bolt sizes as in this case.  Says 5x18 mm, a good hardware store should have something that will work if you don't want to order oem.  I found some metric bolts to hold my front brake caliper on at Lowes when I lost them.
