Question Perrin 4.5" Filter w/Vibrant MAF Adapter Help Please!

Hi Guys-

I have the Perrin 4.5" Filter w/Vibrant special maf adapter.. The MAF adapter did not come with any bolts to mount it.. so I just used regular evo 10mm bolts with nuts (4 of them to mount the maf to the adapter).. The Problem I am having is that it appears that the filter is NOT sitting flush with the MAF adapter because of the bolt head being in the way.. Since this adapter didn't come with any hardware, what style of bolts and nuts are you guys using for the filter to sit flush and clear the maf adapter? Again, I am just using longer stock 10mm bolts with the Hex head.. If you could take a picture of what you're using, that would be great also.. Thanks a lot!

Some small hex cap bolts also work well.

The bracket in the photo is not mine, when you see the new one you will know it came from me.

Oh, I'm sorry.. what I meant to say is that I'm sure your piece will be very nice considering all of the other parts you have crafted
