TRNW-2: 10R80 pump bolts

[William Chechel]

I had the same exact thing happen to me. We took the bolts, cleaned them
and used locktight. Its been out for about 3 months now. I honestly thought
I forgot to tighten the bolts.

I think I might just reuse the originals from now on. Clean them up
locktight and silicone them in.
