The kit once included all nuts and bolts,
plus the bearings. But the cost of supplying the kit
was more than I was selling them for, so the current
kit does not include these parts. However these are
easily obtained from you local hardware outlet and bearing
supplier. The assembly manual includes details of all
the nuts, bolts and bearings. I can supply the bearings
is needed for $35.
