    it's been almost a year since I pulled the tub off of the $ sink. I can still remember cutting off the tub mount bolts like it was yesterday... one stove bolt, one cariage bolt, and 2 machine screwsR). since that time I have installed new floor panels and am about to reinstall the front floor braces...

    Questions:

    what shape and size are the holes through the tub floor that the mount bolts go through?

    what size and type of bolt goes through them (factory)?

    did the bolts have washers under the heads?

    thanx for your help

    clarity: I need to know what size and shape the factory holes are that the tub mount bolts go through.

    I also need to know what the factory tub mount bolts look like, the ones that go through the floor of the tub. are they square headed (stove bolts) round headed with a square register (caraige bolts) or standard hex headed bolts (machine screws).

    do the bolts have washers under them (between the bolt head and the tub floor) from the factory?

    when I tore down my 6 for rebuild the bolts removed were hex/fine thread w/ small washer on head. I put it back together using hex/course thread.

    On mine, mostly round and 3/8" ... I think at least a couple of the bolts in the cabin may have been "carriage" orig, but not when I got to them
