Yup. Cat is one of the more highly reccommended sources for bolts in
this country. They make them themselves, the right way. Fastener
technology is incredible stuff.
Anyway, you can buy bolts from your local Cat dealer, one at a time or
a hundred at a time, metric or SAE. I've got an order sheet around
somewhere.
