Problem is, I go to mount the v-brakes, pull the rubber plugs out of the holes then I realize my problem. There are no studs to mount the v-brake. just a threaded hole.

I looked online at the usual place I order parts and can't find a "stud" that would thread into the hole.

Anyone know where I can get these?
