Help with hardware
I've got a few things to tidy up on my Corvette. Was missing the lower air deflector when I bought it. $78 through Findlay auto parts. No problem.
What is killing me and I refuse to spend is what they want for hardware. Specifically
Multi-Purpose Bolt - GM (11570498) $4.30 EACH! I need 6 (7mm course thread bolts) 2014-2021 GM Wheelhouse Liner Front Bolt - GM (11548270) $5.72 Each! I need 3 (star head fender well bolts) Does anyone have a source to purchase the correct hardware not at bend over and smile prices? TIA

OUCH..... You should be able to get size equivalents in stainless steel at a hardware store. The ACE hardwares up by me have a phenominal hardware selection

McMaster Carr has lots of hardware. Also, Grainger and Fastenal.

Highly recommend M&C. You can get a bag full for what a half-dozen cost from GM...and, I know to whom I'd rather give the money

Cross reference the GM # on Amazon and you'll find many options. I got mine there... Worked correctly and a fraction of the price...

These would be good sources for the bolts/screws.

Didn't even think of Mcmaster&Carr. I've used them in the past. Seems like parts get here within hours. Thanks for the leads gents. Much appreciated
