ZL1 Strut Tower Brace Bolts (Decorative)
Has anyone purchased or does anyone know where to pick up polished stainless or anodized replacement bolts for the ZL1 strut tower brace. Having my brace powder coated but hate the factory bolts. Painting them or powder coating them just will not work. I am sure they would chip on re-install. Thanks for any info you can give

I put chrome caps over my bolts. Picked them up for nine bucks at Pep Boy's.

Here's a couple photos. Ignore the wire on the second photo, I am in the process of installing something electrical and am tapping off that bolt as a ground wire while I'm testing my circuit. These are the same type of bolt covers that I used to use to "chrome out" the final touches on my Harley some years back. The PepBoy ones are really nice. Solid.

I used Flat Allen Head bots with these finishing washers from Ebay seller Northenmoi
Stainless Steel M8 Turned Countersunk Finishing washers 5 Pack  I contacted the seller and he put up a 'buy it now' listing for 6 pcs You can probably get the bolts from him too... (8M x 1.25 x 35mm ??) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-St...item27e42df626 Further reading http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283387 Last edited by RiCorvette; 09-17-2014 at 01:01 PM. |

Try Menards or Ace Hardware. The local Ace by me has a chrome bolt and washer display. Looks like they are trying to appeal to the bike crowd. I know Menards has an assortment of chrome bolts as well.
