I decided to just keep the cable throttle set up for now until I can find the right studs to use. Next time I order from McMaster Carr I might add two of these to my list to see if they will work. Shipping would be more than these two parts alone so I'll just wait till I have a larger order...

Mine looks stock as well. I was going to try to put nuts on the back side of the floor and, if that wouldn't work, cut off the threaded part and weld 5/16" bolts on there but, after seeing that there is a place that has the ball studs with 5/16" x 18 thread, I'm going to just get those.
Edit: Just got off the phone with McMaster-Carr and ordered two of those bolts. It sure is weird that everyone else I've talked to has 1/4"x20 thread and, mine and aggie91, have 5/16x18 thread studs. A big thank you to aggie91 for posting up the info for those studs, it is MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
