Are the kit provided screws for attaching the headlight bucket to the body sufficient? Or do people use nuts and bolts instead?

Screws are fine.

I used screws and nuts, maybe a little overkill but I feel better about it.

Some grade 8, 1/2" bolts for sure.

Damn, I used 7/16" bolts. Now I have to go back and change them.

Sounds a little light, must be an aerospace application.

Silicone glue the bucket to the body, drill and attach with four (4) 3/16" rivets, then use the 4 kit-supplied screws to hold it. Belt and suspenders approach. Can't be too careful.
