So I am in the middle of my grill convertion. Going from final addition to razor grill. I unbolted all the top bolts off the old grill and left them in the engine well area. I have been driving now for a few days without a grill and realized today that I have been driving with the bolts still in the engine well and lost all but one of the bolts. Where does an idiot like me get new bolts from? Would a hardware store carry bolts like this?

It might be a standard thread, I know that they are tapered at the end. You might find something that will work at home depot or ace. Just bring the bolt with you and see if you can match it up.

The taper shouldn't be an issue. Take a nut that fits the bolt and find another it fits.

I've been suprised at how many wierd bolts carquest carrys.  Kragen also has what they call the help section that has all kinds of small parts and bolts.

yeah auto zone too. back in where all the little nuts and bolts are. they got a little thingy thats got all kinds of nuts and bolts on it and they are all labeled. just take the bolt in there and stick in it in a hole that you can thread it into.

next time stick all your little bolts in a sandwich baggy and dont leave them in the engine bay.  EnoughAlready

The sad thing is that I usually do that so I don't loose bolts, nuts, and washers.  For what ever reason, I wasn't thinking set them up in the well and totally blanked.  I will try a few of those places out.  I am sure some one has them.  Thanks for the tips.
