Special bolts?
I just pulled the lower radiator support out and it's in pretty good shape, but the bolts are kinda rough. Are they anything special? Or will Auto Zone, Advance Auto carry a quality replacement? There are 14 bolts in all. Mid America offers a 100 piece set to hold the bumper on, but nothing for the lower rad support. Any suggestions?
TIA,

That's what I used on mine. I took the old bolts and went over to Lowe's and matched them up with new Grade 5 bolts. Lowe's has a great Hardware Dept. and even have section for Automotive grade bolts, body bolts, washers, nuts, clips, you name it. They have grade 5 and grade 8 bolts both. I used grade 5 on mine, they should work just fine. I even replaced my damper bolt that holds the Harmonic Balancer on with a new grade 8 bolt and washer. I never knew they carried all that Automotive type hardware until I was in there one day looking for some screws and bolts for a household project that I was working on, and was I pleasantly surprised went I ran across them. I've been going there ever since for my Automotive hardware and haven't been disappointed yet.
