Ready to order, help with bumper bolts
I need to order some bumper bolts for my car asap.
Where are good places to order these from, particularly the bracket to frame bolts. Summit has a bolt kit with 10 for the bumper but the bracket bolts use lock washers and I don’t want those
thank for any help

Not sure if you are lookin for jobber hardware or show OEM type fasteners?
Measure the threads and pitch if you have something to measure then contact ARP for some alpha male hardware. Anything from any of the large parts houses is likely grade chineasium beta BS regardless of the marks on the heads.
Or source some desert dry used hardware. The serrated washers are key too.
Any of the better parts vendors will have the chrome headed bumper to bracket bolts. Again quality now is a question mark.
Used chrome heads will take a buff but will likely be much better quality.
McMaster Carr can have graded fasteners that you can trust...ask for a C of C with the shipment. These people will have it to your door in under 48 hours,,,sans a snow storm supply chain hiccup

AMK will have exact to original for the most part. I don’t like kits. The bracket to frame bolts are tough. 2 different styles one is a regular bolt and option they used a carriage head bolt, some sell a kit with the carriage head bolt but they are not correct, originals had a small square under cap the held in place to the frame so you can easily adjust bumper. The ones they sell have a huge under cap square that lock frame and bracket together making adjustment impossible to get correct. I have ground those squares to get correct. It’s a pain.
