Fastener Express for the Aluminum stuff, Lunsford for most of the titanium, though there is cheaper titanium out there if you look.

Fastener Express don't have all the lenght i need but i contacted them to see what can be done... Waiting for some news at this moment...
Any more online store???

Need red anodized aluminum...

I swear by fastener express... Thing is it can be a pain to find sizes and colors you want. If you are smart and patient you *can* get plain aluminum screws and have them anodized but that will cost extra as aluminum anodizing isn't exactly easy or safe to try... unless your good with acids and chemicals

For M3 fasteners that long you typically don't want aluminum. I only use Alu on light clamping loads, any stressed, shear or long length I use Ti.

Give Barb at Lunsford a call, they have every Ti M3 fastener you could possibly need.

Thx pal... I wasn't aware for the long aluminum screws... But Brian told me so before I ordered... I took smaller one that fit perfectly!

And anything that has to do with steering, use black steel. All of my Ti failures (heads popping off etc.) have been steering relate applications (knuckles, kingpins, tierod, drag link etc.
