Where could I find these end cap "nuts"?


 
Those are called: Thread cutting nuts

These are like the ones you show. [/URL]
I used to use those on my rehabs, but have switched to this style.

Amazon.com: Auveco # 3405 Thread Cutting Nut 1/4" Stud Size 11/16" Washer Diameter Qty 200. : Industrial & Scientific

Buy Auveco # 3405 Thread Cutting Nut 1/4" Stud Size 11/16" Washer Diameter Qty 200.: Nut & Bolt Assortment Sets - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

If you just need a few of them, most any hardware store will have them. Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value or other local HW store.
 
I can see that, although I personally like the "cleaner" look of the flush black specialty screws.

I purchased those new ones from Amazon. They are the right ones and come nice and shiny. I am good with that on the inside of the hood. However, maybe because I am an accountant and not as experienced with tools, I have found that these new ones can be really challenging to get to thread on. I am more and more inclined to do as @Steve Hoch does and just clean up and reuse the old ones. I have a bin full of those!

I thought I would like the black better. I actually love the stainless look. It looks more rugged and industrial if that makes sense lol

I like replacing the frame bolts with stainless bolts and washers. I reuse the plastic ones under the stainless. Adds a few bucks but I really like the look.

I prefer the stock look and only replace bolts out of necessity. A Genesis 1000 restoration always requires new bolts for the cook box and lower frame supports. I always use stainless steel for these in the hope that they won't be a failure point again n the future.

The issue on the lower frame supports is usually the tube connecting nuts rotting out before the bolts.

Those bolts snap in half from rust at least half the time I try and remove them. The ones that don't break removing them are still usually degraded enough to go right in the garbage. Sometimes the tube connector fails and pulls out leaving you with a useable bolt, but not very often in my experiences.

My gold lid I just did, I tried to use original cleaned up hardware and they just wouldn’t bite the studs. So Bruce and I chatted a bit and came up with those M6 size. Work awesome!
