Any suggestion what to do on keeping these in place ?And also where to buy more. It was real rough this weekend.

what's the pro and cons of drilling all the way through and just having pins instead of screwing in and out each time to lower and raise.
Thanks for the help my friends !!!

I dont think replacing the bolts with pins would give you the same tower stiffness, but I could be wrong. If you found replacement bolts with hex heads in black I think it would look good and you could use a cordless drill to more quickly remove them.
