    Yeah.
    Those don't look perfect, but they don't look terrible either. Did you try running a nut over them? If the nut goes on and off without too much force just using your fingers, I'd use them. I got mine from 303, but USPS didn't mess things up. I didn't look at them that closely, but they went on just fine.

    They're galled just enough that the nut doesn't thread. I'm going to try ace hardware. Maybe they'll have something large enough to chase the threads on the bolt.

    edit: 303 expects me to pay to ship these back. FFS. :rolleyes: They could just give me a discount on their $9 shipping rate and I'd order another set.

    Ace Hardware has these in various sizes. I just replaced my Jeep's control arm bolts with some from there. Grade 8 Zinc 5" x 9/16 course.

    Yeah.
    Yeah, that ain't right. Ace may have that exact bolt. A buddy of mine lost a caliper bolt on his LC while out on a trail. Those have a finer thread that is not super common, but the Ace hardware in the closest town actually had them.

    Try bel metric. That’s where I found them before I found out that 303 sells them. I’ll drop a link: https://belmetric.com/
    Both nuts and bolts can be purchased directly from them.

    4 fresh bolts from Belmetric arrived today. They're literally the exact same thing; same socket size, stamp marks, everything. I have spares now. :rolleyes:

    Bolts are here M14x1.5x80mm

    Flange nut here, but only available in black zinc. You can order the bolts above in yellow zinc or black oxide. I would order yellow zinc bolts and black zinc flange washers.

    Their website can be a little messed up with links( they are local to me so I go there all the time). You also put in a top lock nut, not necessary here so you can get a normal flange nut in yellow zinc.

    Nuts :SKU:NFFH14X1.5YLW
