    I suspect they are the black M 12 X 1.75 bolts with hexagonal heads and dried red thread locker on the threads. They are 1.5 inches long.

    First, a very important garage update. The floor is done! We finished coating the floor of the first bay, Zac installed the baseboard trim, and moved everything back against the walls. Here's an update pic of the garage before the motorcycle lift and all of the motorcycles moved back into the first bay (they were crammed into the 3rd bay while the work was going on).
