just placed an order over the internet, after finding that even my
favorite hardware store does not stock metric cap screws in sizes
larger than M12. I bought a new bumper brace for my pickup truck, as
it'd been whacked prior to my purchasing said truck, and was drooping
a little on one side. The Ford dealer said that those bolts were not
in his stock and were "rediculously expensive" so I figured if I was
going to pay a lot for them I'd go ahead and put some stock on my
shelves, I'll just replace them with standard 10.9 cap screws, nuts,
and washers. (I'm one of those people that doesn't like to replace
metric stuff with SAE sizes; I like being able to work on stuff with
only one set of tools.)

I'll report back if I actually have an issue getting these bolts, but
I fully expect them to be sitting on my porch when I get home from
work tomorrow.

I just hope that none of my neighbors get all bent about the truck
being in my driveway with no rear bumper on it (I removed it last
night and discovered that I had to cut a couple bolts off to replace
the brace; thus I have no way of reinstalling it until I get new
hardware) maybe I should remove the license plate and tape it inside
the cap window...
