Stripped stock muffler bolt

[Cajunrider]

For anyone's information that may run into this minor problem:
I was installing my Chuckster trailer hitch today and upon snugging the last of the 4 bolts on the muffler brackets, one of the bolts stripped. I noticed the last time I pulled the hitch that the threads on this bolt had flattened out some. Let me add, it has never been cross threaded. The other bolt on the same side appeared to be in bad shape also. I went to a local hardware store and picked up two new bolts. I don't remember the length but the bolt diameter is 8mm with 125 pitch threads. I also picked up a tap and chased the threads in the welded nuts on the brackets and the new bolts went in with very little resistance. All good.
