Where do you get your nuts and bolts?
 

I'm looking for the bolts I need for this adapter plate and can't find ---- :'(
I've made trips to two Ace Hardware stores and niether had ----, plus their prices should promise a blow job with every bolt.

1- M10x1.25mm thread pitch x 25mm long socket head cap screw
3- M8x1.25mm thread pitch x 35mm long set screws
4- 3/8"-16UNC x 1" long socket head cap screws

So whats the best place to buy nuts and bolts from?

Auto parts store, look in the phone book under fasteners there should be somewhere. Other places would be industrial supply places.It can't be that hard to find some metric bolts.

most chain hardware stores arent gonna have what you need, ever.
stop by any car dealership and talk to one of the techs in the shop and see if they will let you raid the bolts bin. the bin at my has had everything i have ever needed. and its paid for thru the shop supplies customrs get charged so most techs will be cool with it

I manage an Ace Hardware here in Minneapolis. I just checked on all of those and I have every single one. Most hardware stores that carry "Hillman" brand nut/bolts/---- should have what you're looking for. Don't go to no bullshit hole in the wall place, but stay true to your roots.

Steve and I bought everything for the Integra's brakes a few weeks ago at Home Depot, so that's another option for you.

Fastenal (cheapest, best selection, industrial)
Theisens (good selection, comercial)
TSC (tractor supply, least selection, decent prices)
Menards (most expensive, good selection)

Fastenal owns. Most everything you need is in stock. They can order weird stuff, serrated flange nuts, lock nuts, oddball exhaust studs and it's there next day. Sooooo much cheaper than napa or the dealership. I have a fastenal t shirt. O0 They gave it to me. I used to work across the street, and was in there all the time getting stuff for work.

NUTS IN YER MOUTH

They have what you need. m10x1.25 is a weird size. Most m10 are 1.5. They have choice of grade 8.8, 8.8 with zinc plate, and stainless:

i get mine from the local junkyard (for free)

Re: Where do you get your nuts and bolts?
 

Yeah after I drilled tapped my adapter plate to m10x1.25 i couldnt find bolts anywhere. Fastenal sells everything but they won't break package on a lot of things. I ended up using some honda tranny to engine bolts, I just cut them down to length. 3/8 fine thread is my new friend, there super cheap and you can find 'em anywhere.

Dsm head studs on exhaust side are 8mx1.25 and the 2gs have 10mx1.25 on the very ends of the manifold. hondas also use 8x1.25, expensive but at least its something.
