I need the following bolt, , can't find it anywhere.
M10-1.0 x 35mm DIN 961 Class 10.9 Plain Cap Screw | Fastenal

M10-1.0 x 35mm DIN 961 Class 10.9 Plain Cap Screw (40mm long will work too)

I tried the usual suspects, Grainger, McMaster, Fastenal... but I can't find those bolts anywhere. I need 8 of those bolts for my new after market drive shaft for my truck, witch suppose to tow my bike to CO next Saturday for vacation.
If anyone has any idea where I could find those bolts, please let know me, I sure do appreciate it.

im sure you have already tried them as well, but what about a parts store such as napa, o'reillys. that grade bolt is 'common' for automotive and would explain why the places you listed may have not had them in stock.

Thank you for all the replies!

The real bs about this bolt is that, it has a very un-standard pitch, 1.0 for a M10 is super fine and it needs to be class 10.9 (SAE translates as grade 8 hardness). If I can't get the darn bolt I'll have to take the drive shaft down and machine that beefier flange a bit so I can get the bolt secured properly, I'm not taking any chances with a class 8.8 (SAE equivalent to hardness grade 5).

I like a challenge, I think is fun, but does it have to be this much fun? :confused:

The bolt I need is a bit longer than OEM one. I'll try again to talk to FASTENAL to see if they can over night that for me, if not I'll have to have the flange on the new drive shaft milled a bit so I can reuse the OEM bolts. At this point I don't care about how much it costs, Saturday morning I'm leaving to CO and the truck needs to be up and running.
