You have no idea!!wytbishop wrote:You guys in the US might have trouble finding an M10 shouldered bolt. Up here I can go to any fastener supply place and buy one. I would say that if all you can find is a M10 full thread bolt it's not a big deal. I would definitely not use a 3/8" bolt there.
When the idler bolt on my DE got bent for the 2nd time, I decided to replace it with a grade 8.8 or higher bolt. The bolt in question is a M10x1.25x50mm. I spent almost 2 weeks looking everywhere, and calling everybody about the damn bolt, and the best I could find was a company (Fastenal) that have them, but only sells them by 25 pc. bags.

So, when I was about to give up, I decided to go to Lowe's...AND THEY HAVE THE STUPID 8.8 GRADE BOLTS, BY THE UNIT!!!
