Our Lowes stocks all sorts of metric bolts. They have allen head metrics about that size, but the head isn't shaped like a mushroom - it's a cylinder.

Need help finding a bolt!
I've been searching for months for 1 bolt. I've only managed to find wholesalers who will only sell a box of 100! The bolt I'm looking for is:
M5x08x60mm. It is a metric socket head style bolt which would use a 4mm allen wrench. Anyone able to get 1?! Please let me know! Thanks!

thanks guys! i appreciate the help! i shoulda posted on here a year ago!!!!
yes, i've tried every hardware store i could find in MI, VA, NC, and even Ontario without luck! The closest I came was either 30mm too short, or they only sold them in boxes of 100 being a wholesaler, but they wouldn't tell me who they sold them to so i could contact them?!?!
Tom, thank you! i sent you an email reply.
Pmullaly, i'll contact you if needed. I did just call them and they said they have it, but would only ship with a min order of $40. Tom said he has some. Thanks again!

We have a place around here called Atlantic Fasteners. Even though they say "box only" they will usually break out 1 piece if asked. They have been fantastic to deal with. Maybe there's a similar place in your area.
