I finally heard back from these guys. They pretty much confirmed what everyone already knew. The owner of the company died and the company subsequently went out of business. They said they have a very limited inventory. I'm still waiting to hear back as to whether they have the 1" header bolts for an LT1 in stock.

 

Guys, I have a friend that still has them in stock. I am not sure of what quantity or finish. He has a shop here in Stockton Ca, 209-462-6800 if that helps at all.

 

Well, last night the guys in Australia informed me that they are out of the stainless bolts. They have one set remaining of the black oxide bolts. Won't the black oxide bolts be prone to rusting? If not, I would probably be interested in those.

In the meantime, I'm going to contact 2 Many Toys friend in Cali. I really had my heart set on finding some of these bolts. This can't be happening. It's almost frickin' Christmas.

 

I found some of the stainless steel bolts. Yay.

I called 2 Many's friend, but found some elsewhere before I was able to speak with him. The guy I found has a few more sets. The part # is 600-102, which is the big block set. It's the same bolt, but you get 16 bolts instead of 12. If interested, shoot me a PM. I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to post up the guy's contact info.

 

I defintely need to get a set of these for a big block pontiac, if any of you guys with leads to those that still have inventory would be so kind as to let me know, so I can place an order.

Thanks,

I sent you an email Chris.

Supposedly, Percy's High Performance is going to be making these bolts again. http://www.percyshp.com/

 

Some here on eBay.http://stores.ebay.com/engine-works-...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

 

I am so glad to hear this!
I am about to start working on my 96 Formula and wanted to use a set of these, I have had a set on my V8 S-10 for years with no problems at all.

 

Bringing it back from the dead. Yes, Percy's bought out Breslin. also, to make installs in tight spots a little easier, they have 3/8" 12 point heads. Gives a decent amount more clearance over the 7/16" head.

I have found great success with stainless steel socket head bolts. They
are easy to install and for subsequent tightening, and they have a very
clean look to them. The added bonus is that I only paid $5.50 for a set
of 12 from a local commercial fastener shop:

I was really happy to find some of the original Breslin stainless steel bolts, but I had to grind down the box end of a 12 point 3/8" wrench to get access to some of the bolts. All in all, it wasn't a big deal.

 

I was going to do this, in fact I even went out and bought the bolts. Then, for some reason I got paranoid since stainless steel bolts are a lower grade (grade 3-5 I believe), with lower tensile strength. Header bolts, however, have a tensile strength of more than grade 8. When I really thought about it though, I can't see why bolts that strong would be needed.
