      Great minds think alike. On my list of things to do it find an appropriate die to rethread those bolts after I grind them off. With the nyloc nuts you gotta be careful to not over heat and melt the nylon so I usually mark the bolt with a file then remove them and cut them AFTER threading a die onto the bolt. 5/16 is too heavy to easily cut with bolt cutters...at least for me. A lot of extra work but worth it.
      NRS probably buys bulk bolts that fit in a variety of locations on their products. That length is hazardous for sure in that application. U bolts do allow fine tuning easily as necessary.

      Have you priced stainless acorns lately? I need 2 and went to the Homey place...1/2" were $4.50 EACH!!
      Grind and buff with a Scotchbrite wheel and a squirt of locktite if the nylon melts.
      I also mark (Sharpie) and cut with a cutoff wheel. I can usually hand-chamfer and then wire-wheel to an acceptable end.
      I want to try one of these external debur/chamfer bits.

      One can also thread on a non-locking nut, cut the threads slightly long, and when you unthread the nut, it will push the burr out of the threads...then file/grind/etc the chamfer. You can't really skip the chamfer and be able to thread a nut back on.

      I get most of my hardware from Bolt Depot, McMaster, or Amazon
      $12/10 on McMaster
      $9/20 on Amazon
