Anyhooo... now by comparison the acorn nuts and bolts and various other fasteners will look ugly by comparison, even though I polished them as best I can.
I cannot seem to find a "bolt kit", particularly in chrome. So I'm thinking I need to piece together two new sets from individual plastic washers and chrome acorn nuts and so on. Some are so specialized I'll have to use the originals.
Before I start spending $7 a nut at a fastener place I thought I'd check to see if anyone knows of a bolt kit for the mirrors.
Thanks!

Wait. What??? They are trying to charge you $2,500 for chrome mirrors? That's rape. I wouldn't stand for that. They can try to say all day long that this is the going rate, and that there were lots of pieces, bla bla bla. They should have stopped, and asked themselves "is it right to charge this guy $2,500 for mirrors", and got you on the horn for approval. Something doesn't smell right. You sure they didn't use solid gold? Complain. Raise hell. Don't stand for it.
If you can't get anywhere, and you're stuck with them, is $7 a nut really a big deal, after what you just spent?
