Default Quality metric fasteners

I'm putting the Holley low mount accessory kit on my LM7.

The metric fasteners aren't even straight!

For the money, it would be nice to have quality fasteners.

I've looked around some but need some direction on where to source good hardware.

The sizes are M10x1.5x110 flanged, M10x1.5x120 flanged and M10x1.5x120 socket.

TIA.

I've always had good luck with finding metrics flanged bolts at my local Ace Hardware. You can usually order online from them too.

If you want extra cool try Wicks or AIrcraft Spuce and specialty they come with safety wire holes in them.
Grade 12 iirc..

You can buy ARP bolts individually as well. As KCS mentioned, ACE hardware has just about anything you’ll need locally, but a Fastenal will save a buck or two.

Part of the problem is the length. I have a Fastenal fairly close I can check. Thanks everyone.

Not hard to find for 100mm and under. There are some 110 and 120 on the Holley kit. Those were the ones that were poor quality.
