Metric Hardware

["Steve D'Gerolamo" <steved3@xxxxxxx>]

If you want basic hardware without regard to quality, pick up the set from
Harbor Freight.  You'll hopefully get grade 5 (metric 8.8) bolts and nuts,
zinc plated (no yellow chromate like the factory fasteners), and presumably
mfg in Taiwan/China like many of their other product offerings. Don't get
fooled by the number of pieces....small washers and nuts are cost them less
than $1.00/hundred and this is what you'll be getting plenty of.  I doubt
you'll see many 16x80mm bolts in a small storage box (this size is useless
for any BMW I know of).
