The M10 50 bolts were replaced with 40's
I have not tried to install the hitch yet, but I assume my hardware is too short.
Here's the kicker - minimally the 50's need a 16mm head to fit into the recessed "bolt head trap" in the tow carrier. It looks like the standard is a 17mm head. It may not matter for the 130's - not sure yet.
I've checked McMaster, Grainger and Fastenal and have come-up empty so far.......

Apparently I am looking for a JIS standard bolt? - all of the ones I can find seems to be flange bolts and not straight up "normal" bolts. Sweet.
The plot thickens - maybe it's a typo? I'll try the assembly with what I have a a see if the bolts are long enough. They are such an odd size to begin with it seems unlikely they would have been replaced with something similarly odd but not quite right. Dunno.
