Default Metric Yellow Dichromate Bolt Kit Now Available

I've had requests for something like this and finally was able to source many of the right sizes for a reasonably priced kit.

I had many of the same in bolts in stainless steel kits a while back, but they didn't sell very well since many folk like the look of OEM yellow zinc.

It's Yellow Zinc Dichromate finished, all metric, 8.8 hardness, 6MM and 5MM.
390 Pieces.
Available here $84

Good looking kits, can you tell us where the bolts are sourced from?

I can tell you after recently looking for something like this locally, this would have been a huge gas saver.

I can, but I won't.
I will tell you that I spent a lot of time researching and sourcing what I needed from more than just a few vendors.
And the quantities I had to buy to get decent pricing were in the thousands making the investment significantly larger than I thought it would be.

Can you clarify what the various pieces are used for? I see seat mounting bolts I think?

While manually scouring the parts manuals for the type and size I didn't take note of the applications.
If I figure out a way to automate the search, that may happen but for now I'm glad the task is over.

Sorry, poor wording. wasn't looking for supplier source. I was looking for what country the bolts/screws were made in. I can only imagine the need to aggregate and then allocate X bolts to this square, then Y nuts to that one. happy to pay for that

Ok, cool. I'm still pretty new to wrenching on a 911 - so I haven't yet learned when and where I might need this hardware. Can you tell I HAVE swapped out my seats though?

And the manufacturer name.

Also can they be bought separately in batches of 50 and a 100 and do you have a list of available sizes?
