[DML] Source for stainless M7 bolts? Also Leaking Timing Gear Cover

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have a source for stainless M7 hex bolts of various
lengths?  I'd rather use them for my timing gear cover/valve covers
than put the original rusty ones back in.  I suppose I could purchase
new plated ones, but eventually these rust as well when the plating
wears off.  

BTW, some of you may remember I posted at the beginning of this month
that my timing gear cover was leaking.  This occurred after I had
filled up the oil a few months after replacing the lower crankcase. 
Apparently the gasket between the timing gear cover and the lower
crankcase failed to re-seal, and that is where the oil leak was coming
from.  It was very much a bear to remove the old gasket from the
timing gear cover, and even with the aid of a spinning wire brush, I
must have easily spent over an hour getting it all off.  Powdercoating
is on the way, as long as I don't ruin any main engine grounds in the
process :)  

thanks,

Matt
