Hi Todd, During the restoration of my 76 TR6, I noticed most bolts I
removed, had yellow zinc plating left underneath the head. So, I
ordered 2 assorted sets of grade 8 fine thread bolts(which come in
yellow zinc) from Bolt Depot which were about $29 each and covered about
85% of everything I needed. I then just ordered the longer length items
separately. Saved a bunch of money that way. John Mitchell
