Aint it pathetic? I noticed in the Ames catalouge, they sell front sheet metal bolts, and they point out that "some may not match origionals." I could tell that by looking at the bolts, but at least they are honest about it.

There is a place in South Baltimore called Lenord Jed that wholesale/reatil sells all types of fasteners. It's pretty much that if he doesn't stock it, it's a good chance that it cannot be found. Because the owner is a local guy, I think that the reatail, non commercial sales are more of a community service than a money maker.

Before I buy any fasteners, I'm going to gather samples of what I need and do a head count, and I'm going to swing by and see what he has in stock.

I really need to get the fastener project in gear, so I'll update you on the results.
