Do not over tighten the rears once you shoulder the stud. Stainless Belleville washers and stainless acorn nuts were used.

I may do one in the near future.....
one could go a different route I believe on the rear studs.....
I think the 70mm bolts could come in from the top of the threaded part. With a backing nut on the bolt, one could adjust to length and tighten nut, and the bolt would be locked in place.....
