Here is a post i put in the engine bay thread a while back. Just wanted to put it in this thread in case anyone wanted to know where to order them online.

I had a little time off of work and this is what boredom has brought. I wanted a cheap, simple project and saw that this bolt question gets asked all the time. So this is what I came up w/.

This is the link for the flat head allen bolts (m6 x 20) the pic shows it not threaded the whole way but it is. Only .19 cents each!!

This is the link for the countersunk stainless washer. The allen bolt sets perfectly inside of it. Only .08 cents each!!!

Here are a couple pics for reference...I'll get a better shoot up when the bay and lighting are better suited.

For the anodized look I just used Duplicolors MetalCast system. I stuck the bolts in a piece of cardboard and sanded the heads w/ 400 grit. Then just followed the directions on the cans.





Plain...3 ground coats...4 anodized coats



All in all it is a cheap easy way to show some attention to detail. Hope this helps!

They will because people don't have the time or patience to do this for themselves.

Nice job though OP.

you are a moron. painting washers or adding exterior/interior/suspension/motor parts is totally different? youre doing it for yourself retard!

Can't you get this at Lowes?

ACE has a TON more.
