Hubcap bolts

Yes, a very important topic. Where can I find replacements for the self-tapping bolts that secure the hubcaps?

I looked at LMC and Chevy Duty and local hardware stores.

I can't seem to get metric or standard to fit. Amazingly, they don't seem to work on either fine or standard threads.

Thanks-

-Todd

Re: Hubcap bolts

Hey, thanks Bob. Those cap screws look good!

And you confirmed the thread count for me (18, standard). Because of the narrowness of the rim, I was worried about stripping the threads. Not a lot of wiggle room there.

Thanks again-

-Todd
