It would be great if they did. It would be great if someone did. I bought a similar thing from the dearly departed Imparts something like 12 years ago, and only recently ran out of the most commonly used bits. Very, very useful over the years, on a number of cars. $85 seems like a lot, but not when you spread it over 10 years, and figure in time and grief savings on hardware store trips.

IMHO, the hardware to get is mfr by Wurth. Pelican carries Wurth stuff. Though it may cost a little more, the quality is great and it comes in a 'gold' colored cadmium anodizing. Gives the car the a great look when the hardware is correct.

"Gold anodizing" is cadmium plating, very commonly done on Grade 8 (SAE) or Grade 8.8 (metric) fasteners. A bright silver color is typically zinc plating.
Imparts, so far as I know, simply closed up. I used to live in St. Louis, where they were based. Last time I was there, the shop was gone, and their website vanished. There's an imparts.com now, but they sell dry-cleaning supplies. |
