Epsilon Gurus... Where can I get replacement hardware (bolts,washers,nut)?

I'm having my Epsilon wheels refinished and I'm trying to locate the hardware for it. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I can look for the hardware I'd appreciate it.

Each wheel has:

20 - M10, 1.0, E30 socket head cap screw
20 - Nuts
20 - Small washers (front under bolt)
20 - larger washers (back of wheel)

I went to Ababa Bolt and was able to find the washers but they did not have the screw (in stock) or nuts. I'd love to find some that are chrome looking if possible but I may be using either stainless or black oxide (I think that's what it's called??).

So where are you Epsilon guys getting your hardware?

I don't have Epsilons either but these businesses are generally easy to work with and have most stuff.

Check with your local Fastenal store or McMaster Carr for online.

Fastenal has chrome finish M10x1.5 pitch in several lengths.

M10 Chrome socket heads at Fastenal

I dont see chromed M10 at McMaster and I don't see a 1.0 pitch in M10. Looks like 1.5 is the normal pitch and 1.25 is the fine pitch. From further research it looks like a 1.0 pitch is a standard but uncommon size. Hope that isn't required.

Hope that helps.

I bought everything for redoing my epsilons last year through grattan fasteners, they sell the everything in bulk for way less then any other place. I went with chromed steal bolts as stainless has half the shear strength of steal..... be prepared though I still paid about 200 bucks for everything to do 4 wheels...
