I'll buy it if it's still available. An email address, or phone # for the
owner(s) would help too. I live about 3 hours east of Charlotte, so it
wouldn't be a problem.

I don't think that is a good way to go, as those bolts need to be torqued(don't they?)and unless the allthread was cut to the right lenth, you might have a problem getting the right torque with an acorn nut on the end..Follow what I'm saying? The acorn nut might prohibit the travel needed for correct torque values.....
