Default Help with Stainless M6 Hardware

I am just getting started on my winter P-Car projects and I thought I would seek a bit of help from the community.

I'm a bit of OCD when it comes to my cars and wherever possible I like to stay "original". In particular, a lot of the under-body trim on the 964 (aero panels and shields for the transmission, engine and Cat) is held on with lovely little M6 bolts with captive washers (pictures attached). I have not been able to find a source for these and Porsche just supplies regular nuts and separate washers now.

I know there are a lot of 964 owners who don't run with the engine tray and/or Cat and might just have a handful of these original bolts in their box of spare bits. The specifics of what I need are M6x16 and M6x20 (where 16 and 20 are the lengths of the threaded portion measured from the underside of the head). They are also identified by the manufacturers info on the head: "TIGGES A2-70".

I'm looking for 10 - 12 of the M6x16 and 5 - 6 of the M6x20. If you have any of these that you no longer need I am happy to pay $1 each plus postage.

PM me if you can help!

Cheers!

Jim G.

Yeah Dan, I've checked all the sources I can think of.

If you re-read my post you'll see that I'm looking for "M6 bolts with captive washers ... identified by the manufacturers info on the head: TIGGES A2-70" as shown in the pictures.

Ah, say it isn't so? These were on my next dealer order list. They don't sell the stainless captive washer bolts anymore? You can't get some of the engine tray bolts in without the captive washer. When C24fun has collected his quota, I'll extend his offer too. I could use about a dozen of each length.

The sems screws that I've seen have a hex head with rounded corners. They look like they wouldn't hold up that well.
