I bought a complete set of Stainless, Allen Head bolts from Ebay. There is a guy that auctions the kits, and they usually go for about $20. It comes w/ all 12 lower intake, all runner bolts, all 7 IAC housing bolts, all four TB bolts, all the TPI emblem bolts, the three bolts for the distibuter cover, the three bolts for the throttle/TV/Cruise cable brackets. They look really good.

You might be able to see them in this pic:

I got the same ones, and they go for about $30-40. They're a good set of bolts!

Kevin, the guy either got wise as to what he could actually get for them, or I just got lucky, because I won the auction at $20 plus shipping. I think the company was Rolling Thunder Classics, or something like that.
