Where to get bolts?

[rikaro]

I have been searching around, can't find a place to find bolts for a diff cover.



I have the medium case diff in the center and I'm looking for the part number for the 8 bolts. I've searched a few websites, including realoem (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...24&hg=33&fg=10)

However it shows that it has more than 8 bolts. 16 in total.
05 Hex bolt M10X75 2 07119912677 $1.18
05 Hex bolt M10X25 6 07119913834 $0.71
05 Hex bolt M10X25-8.8 ZN 6 07119914114 $0.47
05 Hex bolt M10X75 2 07119921541 $1.42

I also checked rmeuropean.com but they don't stock the part numbers above.

Anyone experienced can help me out with this? I know it should be really simple for some of you guys. Hopefully I can get an answer for this because I've been searching on the internet for a few hours already.

What's wrong with the bolts you currently have? Med case DIff has 8 bolts that hold cover on.

I bought a used diff and it doesn't come with them. I could use the ones from the small case on my 318is but I don't think they would fit.

Get new ones from the hardware store. Take the diff cover with you an get M10 bolts in the correct length that fit through the cover and stick past by about 1/4" (5-6mm).

Email blunt with a list of part numbers.

Hardware store bolts arent going to have the proper coating and will likely rust.

hardware store bolts may very well be of inferior quality. Like, wretched.

It's hard to find decent hardware any more.

MSC has Unbrako and Holo Krome metric fasteners, which are generally a cut above what McMaster has, and definitely a few notches above what they have at most hardware stores.

The BMW fasteners are also a good choice, but the change to Zn plating because of RoHS isn't as good as the cadmium plated fasteners of yore.

Fastenal (look online, locations everywhere) has worked well for me when I only need a few bolts and didn't want a big pack of them from McMaster and/or pay the shipping.

this is why I hoard old nuts/bolts that are still in good shape.

some still look brand new after 25+ years of being exposed to the elements.

Don't know what you can get locally to you, but the ACE here sells american made fasteners (can't remember brand name) that are high quality. They sell both zinc, black chromate and zinc chromate plated fasteners along with stainless solid brass and plastic as well.

They do but they can be just as expensive as online and the selection isnt that great for metric stuff.

However, you can still get some by looting them off the dawnguard people get attack you.

I do the same, it is nice to have a stock pile of bolts, relays, etc. on hand instead of having to run to the dealership all the time for small parts etc.
