Bought a pair of the Emgo mirrors for my '98 VFR but cannot use the stock bolts to mount them. Does anyone know where I can source some Allen type bolts? The thinnest wall sockets I have won't go around the bolt heads once they get down inside the mounting bracket, especially the fwd one. Also for those who have installed these mirrors did you use both rubber gasket and metal washer or just the rubber gasket? I can see the edges of the metal washer sticking out around the mounting bracket so don't want to use those if they aren't necessary. I believe I can get the bolt size from the service manual but I'm concerned I may order the wrong type threads. I'm a bit thread-illitereate.
