I looked at the hardware that I purchased with the kit, but it seemed to place the control stud too close to the hinge line for my liking. I elected to use Robart heavy duty control arms since they permitted me to adjust the hinge point by drilling and trimming the hinge arm. There was a minor gap left on the bottom of the aluminum nut once it was snugged down, but with a dab of locktite, that should not be a problem.
