ICON isn't much help!!!

Sorry if it sounded like I was making a snide comment, not intentional.

I worked for Fastenal for a few years. I usually used their website to find products because it was way better than the in-house system or catalog.

 

Ha!
OH, OH, OOOHHHHHH........

Yeah, I can hear that.

 

Just go stainless if weather is an issue. I replaced the bolts on faux bead locks on my wife's Wrangler with stainless Allen button-head cap screws.

 

These also work on methods too.

 

If the op is seriously crying about a metric bolt on a wheel.... I can’t wait to see the dumpster fire that happens when he tries to pull the skid plates off his metric truck......

 

Damn. Nylon. That's brilliant

 

No rust, less rotating mass, way cheaper. I call that a win win

 

So, first...they replied ONLY after I put them on blast here! I had been calling and e mailing for over a week. If "Bigtrees" has a problem with that, meh, I want what I want. You don't have to like it, sorry you find yourself having to settle in life!!! Anyway, after I was able to FINALLY get an answer, I sourced a black oxide bolt to confirm the size - the attached pic is similar to what I expect the end result to be. I've ordered the correct size in Torx bolts, which are going to come in black oxide. I know that will not handle the weather, so...I happen to be sending an AR upper receiver for Cerakote and have been given the opportunity to have the bolts cerakoted. So, that should take care of the crappy looking hex bolt issue with a solid looking alternative capable of handling the elements!!!!

 

Probably don't even need the right thread pitch tbh.

 

Make the hex bolts black with a torch and some olive oil

 

It also gives it a protective coating btw

 

Win win win* like the puddles with a kill switch
