How long are the bolts that come with these? Can longer ones be used instead?

The bolts are 1/4 - 20 x 2 1/2 inches. Here are some photos of the bolts and the box: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mo897z4nq5s6hxo/wAbbM-52WO/Toggle%20Bolts

Hi Jody, well, since mine is assembled, I can't measure the bolts for you. And sorry, I don't really understand your question. When you disassemble yours why don't you just re-use the existing bolts that you have? Or, if you want new bolts, why not just take one of them to Home Depot or Lowes and have them match it for you? - Larry

The mounting plates are 9 1/2 inches long. I would plan on getting different bolts . The ones that come with it tend to break off easily?

To the best of my knowledge and I've worked on a lot of toilets, the bolts are all standard distance. The only issue you have to worry about is if your toilet is elongated (longer bowl size) or "normal size". Easy to install. 5 minutes. Good Luck.

The bolts are philips. But when I orderd mi e I didint check how long they were and I bought the longer ones on accident and I like the shorter hardware. It looks better and dosnt bug me as much.

They were lag bolts designed for studs. Since they are currently in my wall, don't know the exact dimension

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.

It comes with long bolts and nuts. We used a power drill...predriiled holes and screwed it in. Very simple!

I mounted them on a 1 1/2" tab 2" long vertically they come with a metric bolt close to 3/8" UNF. I'd think it would work well maybe you'd have to use a different bolt to mount it but the bracket allows plenty of adjustment.

It's hard to say from the information you have provided. I'm not sure what size bolts you are referring or any other info that might be helpful to give a more accurate answer, but these do work extremely well and come in handy. As a matter of fact, I just used mine to take out a rusted up screw on a hot water heater element yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Not sure really, I used them for a guitar speaker cabinet. I had to use a hacksaw to shorten the bolt, to get the right length but they did awesome.

They can be replaced using the original u-bolts but it is a real stretch to do so, an additional 3/4" to 1" would be a real help. I did replace mine using the original bolts but it was one helluva chore and took mucheffort and many tries to get the nuts started.

I don't remember the length of the screws but they were short. I needed to use the original screws from my old hardware instead of the ones that came with these.

Other than the length I think they are probably pretty much interchangeable. I purchased the longer one to provide the extra torque I need to free up rusted old nuts. I think the longer, the better, since you'll probably be using it as a last resort anyway.

They look to be #10 straight shank approx. 2 1/2 inch long with flat head. I think larger screws or lag bolts would require you to drill out the holes a bit. hope this helps.

Same as the factory one not sure the size. I just used the same bolt from the stock ones. Hope his helps

I purchased longer ones that were made for heavy duty leaf springs. I think there about 1/4 or 1/2 inch longer which will make it easier to re-mount the u-bolt.
