Any stainless hardware from your local auto parts store will be fine, they don't have to be any crazy grade hardware, remember the rubber washers.

Make sure you tighten them in a criss/cross pattern like that of a head bolt pattern or the wheels on your car. The TSRM will have the exact pattern recommended.
