I assume these are not stainless or aluminum bolts? I would think about just buying some good quality stainless bolts from McMaster and give them a quick hit on a poilishing wheel. Just a thought.

wasn't familiair with McMaster, just googled them.. didnt seem to have what I need in the size below.
3.75 length & 5/16 bolts. Looking for 4 in stainless steel - if anyone has any leads, I will forgo the hunt for a shop to polish mine.

McMaster
3.75 x 5/16"-18 in SS - 92196A598
4.00 x 5/16"-18 in SS - 92196A142
They have different thread pitches in those sizes as well depending on what you currently have.

thanks Blackbird..
I must have not been searching in the right place. That is exactly what I'm looking for, so I went ahead and ordered a set.

back to the drawing board... mcmasters bolts didnt work out even with the fine thread.. just wouldnt fit.
the ones on the tb have 22 threads, mcmasters had 24..
so. is there a difference between electroplating and chroming? ive come to the terms that i need to have the bolts on the car done instead of searching for others..
