Ace (Robert),
Agreed. More of an irritation than a problem. In fact, I dropped into my local special-hardware store today and picked up four new 5mm X 45mm bolts. They're grade 12.5 - that's higher than the originals, which I believe the guy said were grade 8.8. I should be all set with those, with no cutting required. 50mm is about two inches, so 45mm should be short enough to miss the forward sensor array. (I know, it's just the ignition pickup, but I had to slip some Star Trek lingo in there, like, "We need to reconfigure the bolts just ahead of the forward sensor array!"
