I am also looking for special metric hardware.  Specifically I would like to
replace the bolts that fasten the exhaust manifod to the head with stainless
steel.  If I could find metric fasteners I would like to replace all the
exhaust fasteners with Stainless.  I cannot find any locally, and I am too
cheap to mail order 100 of em, just to get my 4.

I am planning on using SAE Stainless, if I cannot find Metric.  Obviously
SAE will not work on the heads.

TIA,

Cory
