Default Wheel Bolts - Anyone have a Good Vendor? Please Help

Looking for some help. Looking to replace the hardware on my three-piece HRE wheels.

I am in need of

(96) M8 x 1.25 x 26mm (25mm would be ok too,
but ideally 26mm) 6 lobe (hexalobular) socket cap screws. Ideally in a 24k gold color OR copper color.

Anyone have a good contact? HRE will not sell the hardware, which is kind of silly.

This is a SS version of what I am looking for. I guess I could get these PLATED copper or gold, but I am thinking that would be more $$$ than just getting new?? Maybe I am wrong.




JB

HRE must be buying their hardware from somebody.....have you tried ARP?

nothing on their website, but I guess I could call them. These are older wheels, and I dont think HRE was using ARP at the time...I think thats who they use (or its an option) now....

Hm-m-m-m...

For some reason, the pictures didn't show up, when I first saw your post. They ARE indeed unique. Maybe an aircraft hardware distributor?

Is the problem that you need that exact bolt and hre doesn't have it?
Because they do sell the hardware separate as I just recently called them and bought individual pieces for my 3 piece wheels. Not cheap but
I got the parts fast

Really? That is good to know. Who'd you speak to? Nick?

Can you give me an idea of what you needed and the ~cost....I want to know if that is even a viable route to take from a cost perspective.

You might want to try McMaster Carr online, or perhaps SPS.
