Re: Fender Bolts...

There are a couple of different ways you can go. 5/16" coarse threads is the size you are looking for. You can go Stainless steel phillips head cap screws, we cary chrome plated torques head screws, or I have seen chrome bowtie fender bolts. Those are extreemly expencive though... Usualy around $2.50 each. If you want a price on the torques head screws I will have to get it monday, because my supplier (around the corner from me) is closed for the weakend. WES

Re: Fender Bolts...

The cleanest way is to use button head screws. they are in steel and stainless. Won't protrude much

Re: Fender Bolts...

Sorry Coach, but I don't have any pics available ... the reason for the anti-seize is stainless steel will gall and well, seize ... especially when its a SS bolt on a SS nut, but will also do it with SS and just plain steel, just not as bad.
