because they are metric, you can buy them from lightning audio and stinger in a package.

Not all of them are metric. I had an old Phoenix Gold cap, looks like a battery, no display, and it's thread is a 1/4- 28 (thats 1/4" with fine threads)
Stainless Steel bolts work fine.
The 2 caps i have now, one has Metric posts, M8-1.50 (had to buy nuts, got the nylon thread lock type) and the other has Allen socket head cap screws, looks like an M6-1.25
Home depot & Lowes aren't good with metric. Canadian Tire or any auto supply have a much better selection.
