do I need to purchase the longer bolts to install this bashguard.

No. Stock bolts on my wife's 2013 Trek Lush worked fine. After removing the large ring/sprocket, of course.

Nope, just checked. It just needs two more millimeters. But you can go to home depot or whatever and get a longer bolt of the same diameter, it'll work perfectly.

no, it comes with a down rod that is required for installation, there is only an option for a longer one.

No. You'll need a 10-32 tap as well as the proper drill. You can get a drill/tap kit from Ace hardware. I would also pick up some proper screws and possibly a 3/8" drill bit because in my mount the holes were too narrow.

It depends on how you will be mounting it. If you are mounting the rod using the side walls of the closet, you don't need to purchase anything extra. If the ends of the rods/shelving will not be butted up against the side walls of the closet, you will need those extra brackets. I mounted my system in a 33" wide closet. Since it touches 3 walls, I didn't need the extra/separate brackets. It comes with everything you need in that case.

I had no problem, but remember not to tighten any of the bolts until they are all in place. That provides the wiggle room that you may need.

They did fit with the attached hardware. I would recommend spending time on a little prep work to walk around with the provided bolts and spin them in without the brackets. They come with some sort of coating on them that makes it a tight rough spin into the oem slots. Or it may just be lower quality hardware with less smooth threading. Eventually it all fit in and feels sturdy. However, it does sneak into the slip stream and produces a slight whistle at 45mph plus. I may wrap the front bar in rope to break the wind up and kill the whistle.

No... you don't need longer U-bolts. I used the same bolts from the single leaf spring. The hardware that comes with the kit will be all you need. Installing the springs were a challenge however. I also installed the springs before installing the rear seat.

You will need chainring bolts. The length depends on your current set up. You shouldn't need new bolts is you are replacing one of your other chainrings.

My advice ask for the bolt location dimensions on the bracket. The one I ordered was wrong but the seller graciously supplied me with the correct one later.

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

Everything works well. No need for longer bolts however we have an oblong toilet seat vs. a round one. I wouldn't think that would matter though.

Vernon...the mounts extend quite a bit further than the rail itself. So "measure twice" and "install once"/LOL

The longer screws should have been included. Contact place where you bought them and tell them to send longer screws. Maybe they sent you the wrong screws. Mine fit perfectly.

If that's the case simply buy longer screws at the hardware store. It a good product.

I used a 1/4" socket wrench with the hex drive bit to install the mounting bolts. If I recall, the threaded fasteners supplied have a thread-locking compound applied. I simply tightened the fasteners fully - without really "reefing" on them.They've remained in place an functional ever since (installed 6/14).

I would answer yes to all your questions. Mine came with the typical nut and bolt. I then used a ring terminal, as you mention.Good Luck
