Tapered threads get tighter as you screw them. You know when they’re properly tightened because they get tight to turn. If there is a head, like on the stock bolts, the head determines how far in they can screw, and in my case they were still loose when the head prevented further turning. The head is a hindrance!
Thanks, that makes sense, regarding the bolts. I'll try to find them in black on Amazon.

Regarding the 't-bolts', I made a mistake, I actually meant T-Clamps.
I don't like the worm-gear clamps that came with the chargepipe, so I'm trying to find Black (anodized) T-Camps, like:

I'm trying to find them in the same size as your Vibrant t-clamps, but so far without luck..
I've found these, but they're not the exact same sizes as yours.
