Where to get a bolt

[G-ZUS]

Where can I get a 18x18, grade 8 bolt? BMW Dealer wants $8 for 1 :nut: Autovalue/Partsource don't have. It's for my upper strut to hub.

My car has the one on the right, need the one on the left to give me a little camber adjustment

Calgary Fasteners would be my first choice

Fastenall, triad fasteners, bolt supply house work as well

I think Triad sadly went out of business a few years ago. Calgary Fasteners is probably your best bet, but you will run into a minimum purchase limit of ~$5.

Blackfoot Industrial Supply. Can't remember the gal's name there but she is great to deal with for metric oddities. (your bolt is not one)

Go buy it at BMW for $8? Unless you need like 10 of them, but its just camber adjustment so I guess you only need 2 or 4 max.

This. is your time really worth less than $20?

Also, you'll probably need to buy a longer bolt and cut it - I don't think bolts that short in length will have the shank length as the original (i.e., the new bolt will be all thread, and you don't want something like a rod end or bushing to be sitting on the threads)

Ask them if they can do any better then that on the price some times they will

This. If it's not urgent then try online, I don't think this is something worth running around town for

[G-ZUS]

Definately not going to run around town for it lol. Ill try calgary fasteners - looks like it's right beside my work. if they dont have it then i will order online. I actually need 2 of the bolts and nuts for them. 16 bucks for 2 bolts, 4 bucks a nut and 4 washers at $3/each. :nut:

Bmw is on the other side of town, has to bring it in so they want pre-payment which im not going to make 2 trips across town for some bolts and nuts lol.
