    McMaster-Carr has some, check their web site if you don't have their catalog...You NEED their catalog, I get their stuff next day from GA on regular ground shipping.

    Call Jerry Darien at Specialty, he can get anything in Ti you need and Aluminum also.

    McMaster-Carr will be my first choice, ti nuts and bolts for $1.50 a piece...I can't even get a steel bolt from Specialty for that price....but I'll use them if I can't find it on McMaster. Thanks guys!

    Titanium is around 60% lighter than steel and 75% stronger...it does have a higher shearing factor, hence NHRA not allowing its use on the fuel cars for wheel studs.
