I didn’t see this information anywhere else so thought I’d pass it along.
My Marantz 140 amplifier has four Aluminum bolts, one in each corner.
They are metric M5x0.8 and are 8mm long.
This site has some reproduction bolts for sale. They offer a set of four for the same price that I’m seeing on eBay for one.

That’s only about 100 times the real price.

Made up a faceplate for my WIIM Ultra. The modified off the shelf stainless bolts took a while to get looking correct, but then I work for free. 🙂
To get the right look on the bolts, I first ground off the markings on the head and then used a drill press to push the head into 80 grit sandpaper. To hold the bolt, I put a Rivnut into the drill’s chuck and screwed the bolt into it. While seated in the Rivnut, a file was used to remake the slight chamfer on the top.
Time consuming but worked well.
