Here's what I did. I bought 1/4" longer bolts, and 6 small nuts, same size as the ones that come with the WSM. I also bought 3 large 9/16" nuts that fit over the stock nuts. I threaded 2 of the small nuts onto the bolt and tacked the 2 small nuts together. Then I welded the small nuts to the big nut. Mount the longer bolts, same as you would through the legs and bowl using the flat washer and the stock small nut. Then just thread the welded set on and it gives you plenty of clearance away from the charcoal bowl vent tabs.
