Anodised bolts source?

[stevet1]

Been looking at this site
http://www.bsr-aerotek.com/store/index.php

But the prices are kinda steep and they don't have some of the sizes I was after. Can anyone recommend anywhere else? Can't do ebay either (no account setup, for my own good )

BTW they also do coloured heatshrink for cables
http://www.bsr-aerotek.com/store/index.php?cPath=271_246_249, was half-considering getting some purple and seeing what it looked like but decided at the last minute it would make my Vit T look a bit like a barbie-bike

Cheers folks, between them I managed to get most of the bolt sizes I was after. Started looking because I was ordering the inner chainring spacers from Billy's cycles and because they had a minimum order value for free postage I started looking for other cool stuff. Low and behold they have a few packs of purple bolts reduced to clear.
Spent the weekend putting purple nipples on a set of wheels

Also I meant to ask, what are peoples views on replacing bolts such as the stem face plate bolts with ali ones? I think I'm of the opinion these should be steel...

It's up to you..

Even back in the day I wouldn't have done that. Use alu bolts in strictly non safety critical places only.

Aye thats the decision I came too, only asked as I've seen it done on a few bikes recently.

Ali bolts

Never fit'em in the face plate, once saw the great Dan Cook (remember him, Orange Rider), smash his face in after they snapped off in a race!

Either use Titanium, or the original bolts, don't use Stainless steel, look fine but have a habit of shearing the heads of, a bit brittle.
