Any ideas...

Just look up the screw kits DDM sells. They spell out what you need in the description no?

In some cases yes, in others no. Definitely takes a bit of time. I only wish I would have gotten more. There were a few on my list I simply didn't order enough of. A lose screw is literally like $.02-.03 each very cheap

See if you have a local Fastenal. I get all my stuff from them and the big ones have a lot in stock. Just getting a better grade of hex makes a hugh difference. The stock ones are so soft.

Fastenal is also Uber expensive in my experience

I’ve order 2 screw kits in the past. Both were a disappointment when I needed a screw and it wasn’t in the kit

We have a fastenal in town. Business account or not, they bend you over. Especially for metric sizes that arnt "common" plus you normally have to buy a pack and cant get one or two. Normally I just go buy what i want at the ace hardware or the internet. The torx is a great idea. I never thought of that either ?‍

My fastenal sucks unfortunately. As above they are stupid expensive compared to many online resources. The fastenal here carrier maybe 2 drawers of metric also.

Curious How much do you guys pay at fastenal?
I never used them
I buy my screws @ https://www.mcmaster.com/
You can’t just buy 1pc. They ship anywhere

Boltdepot was cheaper for me. And you can get whatever quantity you want. Just fyi, I used to use McMaster Carr as well

I hope you guys are comparing similar grade hardware. The price jumps significantly with higher grades. If any source doesn't list the grade its likely monkey metal and junk. I was checking fastenal prices and they're not a lot higher apples to apples.?‍

Mc master is semi expansive, best price I used to get was from Lawson supply. I typically only buy grade 8, or 12.9 fastenal is just expensive. Case in point. We needed a few metric bolts for my brother Nissan rear k member. Called Nissan $8.00 a bolt. Stopped by fastenal. They had the bolts that would work for $6.50 each, but we needed to buy a 10 pack, and washers, 25 pack. Till all the bs was added up it was more then going to the dealer. That's where fastenal gets you at. And if they (my local store) has to order something in for you it seems it's always a 25 or 50 count pack that they want you to buy. Just what been my experience with them.

McMaster have the tech sheet on the hardware you’re buying. The torx I bought are
class 12.9
Rockwell c38
140000 psi tensile strength

Well I fixed my primary issue for the weekend. Now I may focus on that stubborn bolt. Gonna try to get at it from the other side as it does go straight thru. Virtually zero room to work with though

Ya I suppose it would suck if you needed single items. I did a bunch of my dbxl in stainless and boxes of 25 worked out well with extras. But anyhoo, use what ya like? capitalism in action baby??
