Bumper Bolts

[dave lowry]

If you don't have any extra bumperbolts, hit "delete" now.

But if you do, maybe you could help me out. We were realigning our front
bumper yesterday (by adding spacers under several of the bolts) when one of
them let go. When we checked it out, it was no surprise it failed. It was
nearly rusted through. Of course they're an odd size so the local sources
don't have any.
I hate to order, wait and pay for a whole set when I only need one (and
maybe a spare ?). I'll be happy to pay, including postage. Or will pay in
beers at next west coast rally. Any helpers out there?

I know that several people sell packages of stainless bolts, but what did you
find to fit. We are blessed with a lot of hardware dealers in the
Washington-Baltimore area, but it helps to tell them what we want. Thanks for
sharing.
