Well, if you have the time for it, it would be awesome if you could share the length of the shoulder for the M6 x 30mm bolts needed for the SC bracket!

Ace Hardware says they are able to shave it down for more shoulder if needed as well, which is cool of them to offer!

Try Fastenal for bolts.

How do they shave down a bolt for more shoulder. Sounds like they are just removing the threads.

Yep. I think that's what he said they'd do lol. They were going to grind out the threads up top for more shoulder is what he said I guess it's something that Ace Hardware does??!

I actually gave Fastenal a call this morning and asked if they had the Flanged M6 x 30's / M8 x 30s and they said they had none of those...so he told me to check the website which I did.

I will probably end up buying the bolts from Ace Hardware and anything I can't find from them will be ordered through the Fastenal Website!

If they ground down the threads. IT'S NOT a shoulder bolt. The shoulder of the bolt is the same diameter as the threads. If they ground down the threads. It will be under sized. Bad idea! It's not a shoulder bolt. It's just a bolt with some threads removed. Any clown can do that.

Different images of shoulder bolts. The shoulder is the same diameter or larger then what the thread diameter is.

Hmm okay. Maybe I will not ask them to do that then, haha you're right.
I guess I either need the specs of the shoulder on the bolts that fit the SC bracket and try to find it around either Fastenal or Ace Hardware.

Or... I will need to continue to pester and bother Stillen until I get the information I need.

It's so ridiculous how they only have ONE supercharger technician they rely on for the entire world for when people have SC inquiries regarding the Stillen SC products. At least that's what it seems like to me, every time I ask they always refer to Rob Moses as the technician. I mean it's cool they have one but ONLY ONE? It seems like that's a little too low for a company the size of what they are.

Grr.
