I'm in need of two bleed screws for the front calipers and a bolt for my alternator cover. If anyone has these(or knows where I can find them) please let me know.
Thanks,

Bleeder screws are available at autozone, they have the 8mm thread. If you can find them, speed bleeders are great.
The alternator cover bolt is a 6 x 1mm. I think they are 20mm long. Available at your local ACE hardware. They even have stainless and chrome versions if you want to shell out the money.
The bleeders are three or four bucks for regular and maybe twelve for a pair of speed bleeders, the bolt a few cents or a couple bucks for chrome
Hey Spider, here I go again with the ebay thing, but go to ebay and look up this seller: Kirby's Brake Bleeders. They have a set of three speedbleeders for $26 this includes shipping. Ivan is right about the cover bolt. Ace hardware has the best selection. Rick

Thanks guys. I went down to the local auto store and grabbed bleeders(they were out of speed-bleed in 8mm) for less than three bucks. Caught a deal on fuses while I was there. I went to Lowes for the bolt, but they didn't have what I was looking for so I'll check around elsewhere. I did pick up bolts for my fender though. I don't think I've an ACE anywhere too close by. Closest is like an hour away I think, so I'll check the local places first.
