wanna know a little secret? 22R main bolts are the right size for the engine stand <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Andy,
The Napa where I used to live had a great selection. Bins and bins of hardware and drawers of the more specialty stuff. Usually, I'd take the old in and get a few extras of whatever I needed. If that's too much of a pain, try the local hardware distributor such as a Fastenal. Check their website, they usually have good prices. My buddy who works next to me had to get a metric threaded rod there for his snowmobile (3 ft length) and it cost him about $3.50. He had plenty left over for future repairs then.
I see there are 3 of them in your city.

I agree, I buy all my metric hardware from mcmastercar! They have about anything you could ever want. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Thank you all for the comments and advice. I'll be a more discriminating consumer next time. I guess some suppliers are immune to the pressure of competition.

Naw, he wants to reuse them if they ain't stretched--Darin's cheap, but not easy! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> OR at least not as easy as he used to be!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Cheap? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Main bolts are one thing I have absolutely no problem reusing as they are probably the least stressed fasteners on the motor. Never pulled a main bolt yet that had any distortion to the threads. Headbolts...max 3 torque cycles though.
