Default Source for JIS Screws?

Me and some other Honda-guys in Germany are searching for a source for JIS screws, like the OEM ones used on our car(s). (Yes, we are nitpicking german nerds...)
To make things more complicated, they should be sold in small packages and shipped internationaly.
So far, i only found this one: JIS Products - Lindstrom bur no dealer....

Anybody have a source for this screws?

Ebay is probably the best source.
Are you just replacing oem screws or you need different size and lengths?

McMasterCarr also sells JIS hardware. This is NJ USA.
JIS + screws are great , but I dont know how much difference youll have with the general hex heads.
I work for a company based in JPN, but we generally use all stainless JIS H/W.

JIS is nice to have because the head sizing is consistent with other bolts on the car.

McMaster is where I get mine.

For common M6 and M10 nuts and bolts in the JIS specification and for lengths below 50mm, I go to Fastenal. They have a local presence. With a phone call, they may be able to fill needs for M8 in JIS but it is not in their product guide. Also, the finish is zinc, not cadmium. On the other hand, Honda is converting their new parts supply to zinc anyway. BTW, the only pitch available in M6 is 1.0 and M10 is 1.25.

Thank you all!

@Flanders: We simply want to replace OEM bolts to keep the car "original" and avoid Honda prices.

Good luck.

Its difficult to find direct replacements for M12 and larger. McMaster doesnt carry them...and I don't believe Fastenal does either.

Honda uses a 1.25 thread pitch, even on larger fasteners.

You can maybe find a merchant on eBay...but...duno if that's a reliable source for high strength fastners.
