Exclamation Motordyne Spacer Hardware

I recently purchased a Motordyne 5/16 basic plenum spacer for my Z from Craigslist and it didn't come with some of the hardware I need. I looked all over town trying to find the bolts and washers I need but none of the hardware or auto stores I checked had this stuff. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of a place that has what I'm missing or if one of you might have hardware you could send.

What I'm missing:

M6 x 1mm x 70mm bolt (2)
M6 x 1mm x 70mm bolt (1)
High Strength Strut Bar bolts M10 x 1.25mm x 30mm (6)
Strut Bar Spacers (8)
Strut Bar Washers (4)

Wow I cant believe I missed that! Haha thanks.

But $45 for some washers and bolts is a little steep. Any good sites for ordering hardware like that? All that stuff together should be more like a few dollars somewhere else.

no that's the spacer/gaskets that goes inside your plenum so that the extended bolts screw in properly...all mandatory items and its worth the money if you don't have it.

I definitely understand that they're all required hardware but I think the only things that I would have trouble finding for cheaper online is those spacers. Would you happen to know what size they are?

Also, it says that there are strut bar spacers AND washers, but in that picture all I see are the spacers. Are they the same thing?

EDIT: Nevermind, got it.

I cant justify that. Those strut bar spacers are the only thing that I cant get somewhere else for a few dollars. I wont spend $45 for strut bar spacers. I'm going to call Motordyne tomorrow and see if maybe they could sell me just the spacers. Speaking of! Know the dimensions?

The spacer is 5/16. I'm going to talk a wild guess and say the washers for the strut bar are also roughly 5/16. Just find a washer that fits the bolt and is 5/16 thick.

I thought the same thing, but cant find thick washers. I might have to stack some.

You've got to be kidding me. I went to a specialty bolt shop for the bolts I was missing and the total was $4.91

I'm not going to pay $45 for those spacers.
