Re: Where to get some replacment bolts

You could check prices at Classic Parts of America.

Most of those bolts are specific length and grade for the job, so really, 37.00 to get the right ones all at once isn't too bad.

Everything I go to the junk yard I grab a bunch of bolts. Usually $5 for a pocket full

Re: Where to get some replacment bolts

You could try McMaster Carr.
They're called "flange head cap screws" and "serrated flange lock nuts".
They're either Grade 8 or Grade 5 you'll need to read the raised lines radiating from the centre on top of the heads to tell. Six lines is grade 8 three lines are grade 5.

Re: Where to get some replacment bolts

Do yourself a favor and go to your local bolt house. Take a list of what you need or better yet, take your old bolts if you have them. Unless you go to a chain like Fastenal, most places will sell you broken boxes. Coming from someone in the fastener industry, this will save you time and money.
