WHERE: Gold Hex bolts?!

[fdegrove]

A MATTER OF TASTE.

Hello,

Also when the rest of the chassis is gold, the only color to go with it is gold as well.

De gustibus et coloribus non discutandum est.

In other words I like black with gold and vice versa.

Is it allowed?😀

Cheers,😉

For me the best match is black and clear anodized aluminum.😉

ANODIZE TILL YOU DROP.

Hello,

For me the best match is black and clear anodized aluminum.

How about champagne anodize with black hexes?
I like the black ones too,pretty techy.

Ciao,😉

Chrome plate man, nothing beats it.

Except maybe purple with small yellow dots, depends on how big the dots are of course.......

I guess favourite color match has to do something with a national flag. That's probably where the gold and black comes from.😉

There is another issue. Here in Canada by hex bolts we mean the bolts on the left in my pic. What is the proper name for the bolts (or screws) on the right, the ones with Allen key hole?

For the gold plate you could try a pcb outfit. They can do a gold flash. That is enough for looks.

The ones one the right are Allen bolts here as well,you need Allen keys to work them.
Those on the left are just the ubiquitous garden variety bolts.
What will probably be significantly different are the diameters and screw taps.
Unless all that has gone metric with you too and that would really surprise me.

And I still refuse to put it up.
OTH if I can find a Flemish flag I might just go for it.😀

Hi,
Seems I've started quite a topic!

The side heatsinks a powder black and the rest of the panels are aluminium. I thought the gold / zinc & yellow would be a nice contrast!
Thanks,Gaz

ALL IN GOOD TASTE.

How about Havocs' idea?

Around these parts, they are known as "hex socket cap screws", or just "socket cap screws".

By Havoc's idea, I assume you mean Chrome?

I think chrome is a case of each to their own...I don't like it for normal amps, but as a base plate for tubes it looks nice.

I'm afriad I'm just not a fan of the stuff 🙁

This is what I had in mind.
