Rams Horns Header Bolts Source

Hello all. I now have some rams horns headers for my 272, and I am having trouble finding the header bolts. They need to be two different lengths (2" and 1.5" I think, but don't quote me on that). CJ's has some nice stainless steel ones on their website, but they are currently out of stock. Does anyone have a source for them? Thanks.

If you like stainless (and I do) I go to Home Depot and buy the stainless bolts there, grind off the markings on the top of the bolts, clean up the grinder marks with fine sandpaper and then buff. They come out like chrome!

Thanks Kevin. I thought about that and went and looked at Home Depot and Lowes, they did not have stainless with a small enough head for the center bolt hole, pretty tight squeeze there. I talked with CJs today and they are now expecting the stainless set I ordered in by the end of this month, so that's a good thing.
