    The OEM ones are Giv, thats why i'm going for uber stainless shiny bolts dude. The devil is in the detail.

    They do look nice, but I prefer Allen head cap screws with a taper. Sort of look more business-like, if you know what I mean!

    I buy A4 stainless Allen bolts from a local supplier. Around 50p each . Not over £4 each plus postage. Pro Bolt are thieves.

    Total agree with Pro bolt being over priced. I use a local fastener company in Slough. They will supply any size in any amount at extremely reasonable prices. I'm sure there are similar companies all over the country if you look. One word of caution: BE VERY CAREFUL WHERE YOU USE STAINLESS! I know it looks the dogs, but it doesn't have the tensile strength required for anything 'Safety' related ie brakes, axles etc.
