Your Hurricane definitely came with bolts originally and really should have them put back in.

The backbox latch on the back is not sufficient to hold the head in place upright safely, in my opinion. You can get generic bolts and washers from any hardware store, but I prefer the original wingbolts which do not need tools: part# 20-9718 Wing Bolt

Quoted from practicalsteve:

My bad! I should have doen my homework, just looked in the manual and saw where it says that there are bolts to secure it. I have only moved two pins before, a Mata Hari where you remove the entire backbox, and a Hurricane which either does not require bolts or did not have them anymore. thanks guys.
