Source for Chrome plated screws

[Grant Gunderson]

Any one got a good recommendation for a source for Chrome plated screws? I need a bunch of socket head screws, mostly ¼-20 in a bunch of different lengths. Best I have found so far is $2 and change per bolt from Bolt Depot.

Stainless screws from an industrial hardware store should be less expensive.

Buy a box of the longest ones you will need and cut the remaining ones to the length you.

Did you consider SS?

Reason, I am looking for Chrome is to match the Chrome parts they are going to reside in. Worse case I may go stainless and add Chrome caps....

According to the interwebs you can get chrome cap screws at Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/b/Hardwar...t-Head-Cap-Screws/Chrome/N-5yc1vZc2cyZ1z0mnjf That may be the easiest but they aren't cheap. If you have a buffing wheel, stainless bolts can be polished up to look very close to chrome.

I think Bolt Depot is probably the best for price. You need to see if they stick it to you on shipping.

If you grind off the manufacturer markings and buff them up, stainless screws look really nice.

Ace hardware, or any good motorcycle shop.

Not sure if it's all Harley-Davidson dealers, or just the one by me, but that's where I go.

I walk in with a non-chromed version of what I need and give it to the parts guy. He walks into the back and comes back with one. It might not have the same head on it, but the thread and length will be right. This might depend on location and quality of the parts guy, though.

Not sure on the cost these days.

Thanks guys. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Doesn’t look like they list prices online so I’ll email them and see what the bill prices look like.

My experience has been that the shipping is much less than the cost of gas to the hardware store.
