I dont think either of those places carries a grade 8 bolt/stud. Id spec out some ARP studs if it were mine...

Get 3 to 4 feet of SS All-Thread Rod and cut them to your required length ... Easy to match the length to the amount of wedge your using ... Can also make them long enough that you can experiment to find the amount of wedging your boat is most happy with.

just remember stainless is not grade 8,although it is ok for that particular application.

i just replaced mine. i had the carbureter studs sold at most speed shops. after going to install a 2 degree wedge i noticed the threads were very shallow and a couple of the nuts kept spinning. i replaced em all (16) with grade 8 studs from Mcfadendale hardware. about a buck a piece. used my stainless washers and lock nuts and should be good to go. carefull with the carb studs sold in the 4 packs you find at speed shops and automotive stores. look close at the threads before you buy.
