I bought stainless steel bolts and washers from a local hardware, took them to my shop, sanded the tops flush then put a high polish mirror finish on them. Wrap a piece of thin plastic around them when tightening so you don't scratch them. They look great and will stay that way.

Here are some polished SS allen head bolts with custom SS washers I made for a member on here.

5/16 ALUM. COUNTERSUNK STRINGER WASHER
8mm-1.25 FLAT HEAD ALLEN (STAINLESS) - I used 30mm but I'd be more comfortable with 35mm. http://www.allensfasteners.com/default.asp I had to modify the front set of washers using the poorman's lathe (drill press and files), then polished them all with Tripoli(?) buffing compound. |

Lots of great ideas in this thread! I ended up going with a bolt that I found on clipsandfasteners.com. Nothing fancy, but the look good and they were inexpensive at 25 for less han $10. Here is a link:

Hello,
My 2 cents here, 35 years from now when someone restores a ZL-1 they will be throwing all those nice polished/stainless bolts out and installing the GM bolts. I think I will stock up on the OEM bolts now. LOL |

Any input on if it's possible to use M8 x 1.25 x 40mm bolts? I know 35mm is the oem GM bolt length, but I found some decorative bolts I like that don't come any shorter. Will the longer 40mm bolts hit/bottom out on anything at the bottom of the bolt hole?
