Default Sometimes I just want to quit!!!!

So I am trying to refresh my 944S, you know, new gaskets, bolts, etc. Well, I was just about to buy new bolts for my cam cover until I found out it'll cost me over $100 for 13 bolts!!!!

I have spent the last hour or so trying to find different places that carry these bolts. I found one place that will charge me $10.25 for the small bolt here. I need 3 of those. For the larger bolt, I found it here for $9.07 for the long bolt. I need 10 of those.

But if you look at each site, they want you to pay $20+ for the other bolt you need. Like 944online offers the small bolt for $10.25 but the large bolt for more than $20. 928gt.com offers the large bolt for $9.07 and the small bolt for more than $20. wtf? The total price if i get them would be $30.75+$90.70=$121.45. are you kidding me? does anyone have a secret source? am i overlooking a place that has them? neither pelican nor paragon carries them.

How about Vertex and Autohausaz.com? I've had nice luck with those two as well. When it comes to buying parts for my car I tend to spread the wealth around.

thanks nick.

bill, neither of them carry it either. but thanks for the autohausaz.com suggestion, they have a cheaper rubber grommet that goes between the cam cover and the cam cover bolt.

eagleaday doesn't sell them, do they?....
They should be substantially cheaper if they do.
