I sat outside of work the other day (advance auto) and just unbolted, purchased, and rebolted most of them. I couldn't get all of them in stainless, so I'll probably go to Home depot and replace them sooner or later... All of the bolt kits seemed to be like >$200, and I figure I can do all the ones that bug me for about $20 so.....
